	St Catherine's Cultured Cats Surrey, Group status: Up and reading furiously Do not disturb - I'm reading The Year 9 Library Monitors together with the Sixth Form Library Prefects are shadowing the Carnegie Medal this year. The group meet in the library each week in the lunch hour. This term the library monitors are busy making reading posters for the loo doors throughout school. Each door will display a list of a particular genre with a review of one of the titles. In the Sixth Form loos it will be recommended extended reading by teaching subject. The Carnegie Poetry competiton is underway. The fridge magnets have been displayed on the Library Returns Bin and have created quite a buzz at break and lunch times as girls try out there composition skills. Hopefully a front runner will appear soon. St Catherine's is developing a close relationship with our local Waterstones Bookshop who actively promote author visits in schools. As a result, we have had visits from the authors Carmen Reid and Cathy Brett which were very successful. We look forward to many more.
