@AccessitLib For us it was good old Lord of the Flies! It's been consistently popular for years, and this year our drama department is putting on the play which has given it a real boost.

A quick question for our lovely Accessit Customers.... 🤔 What was the most popular book in your library this past year? 📅 Have a quick look in your management app and let us know! 💁🖥️ #LibraryLife #Books #LoveReading

@DCSLib Brave man Mr. Suckle! 👍

Video evidence of Mr. Suckle sampling a scorpion in today's excellent EPQ presentation, 'Are Insects the Future of Food?'. Giving your audience an opportunity to engage is a great way to enhance a presentation #mrszeitzchickenedout #presentationskills #epq #alevel #entomophagy
