World Cup Quiz

Despite England's lack of success on the international field of football, lots of interest was generated in the library's World Cup Quiz. Football facts and figures challenged even the most football-savvy but the overall winner managed to score a magnificent 100%. Prizes of a Jabulani ball and book token were awarded to James Belbin with 7 runners up receiving mini balls and chocolate.

Neil Gaiman gets a hat-trick!

Neil Gaiman has been awarded the Carnegie Medal 2010 for The Graveyard Book. Earlier this year he won the Newbery Medal (US) and the BookTrust's Teenage Book Award for his book about Bod, the boy brought up by ghosts.

The Kimbolton Shadowing group disagreed with the Carnegie judges, placing Revolver as the favourite with Nation and The Vanishing Act of Katharina Linden as runners-up. See the group's reviews at Kimbolton's Carnegie web page
