At Bishop Challoner, our vision is to create a school where every pupil is empowered through the *master skill* — **Reading**. We read to learn and we read for enjoyment, exploring books widely and often. Across all areas of school life, we aim to provide every student with a rich reading experience from Key Stage 3 right through to Key Stage 5. This strong foundation not only supports academic achievement but also fosters creativity, confidence, and wellbeing. Our library sits at the very heart of our school — both in location and spirit. It is a welcoming and inspiring space, full of opportunities to discover new worlds through books. Managed by Mrs Newton, our dedicated Library Manager, the library is a lively hub where pupils can always find guidance, encouragement, and their next favourite read. ***"The aim of the library is to create the environment and facilities where students and staff may read, study and seek information."*** --- ![Image](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GXrQ29sWwAAIxRi?format=jpg&name=large)![Image](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gjlr2ntXYAAbgyb?format=jpg&name=large)![Image](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GrDoCp2WcAAzr3m?format=jpg&name=large) --- ## [The Bookshelf](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/library/newsletter) **What's happening in your library ?** **You can view the latest newsletter here ...** [![](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/images/tabs/83ad7abe47a1afa2c204293e9260facf.png)](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/library/newsletter) ## What books do we have? **Access our school library catalogue [here.](https://uk.accessit.online/bsh09/#!dashboard)** [![School Library Management System | Accessit Library](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvuOeWfS8dRFSAayNOqkEbwDVCDRljeQxWTlH6myP2Pz4SQhC8JT1-KWxmFjEd7KryYA:https://www.follettlearning.com/assets/lib/001hero/accessit-library-logo-600x180.png&usqp=CAU)](https://uk.accessit.online/bsh09/#!dashboard) ### ### ## [Local news and events](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/library/local-news-events) **Check out the latest literary and arts news and events happening right here in Birmingham.** [![](https://bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk/images/brum.png)](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/library/local-news-events) ## [For the Love of Books! ](https://bishopchalloner.org.uk/library/fortheloveofbooks) Read any good books lately?
