Free ebooks!

I've just added a new site to the Useful Links page. Project Gutenberg provides access to a huge selection of classic ebooks, completely free of charge. Files are available that can be used on your PC, iPhone/iPod/iPad, Android mobile, Sony Reader or Kindle. Have you always fancied reading the original Dracula by Bram Stoker, or Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen? Now's your chance!

Run to Read!

World Book Day (3rd March 2011) saw the launch of a new campaign to raise money for the library at Marr College. Spearheaded by Mr Carey and local resident (and Marr College parent) Dr Hazel McFarlane, "Run to Read" aims in the first instance to replace our collection of VHS tapes with brand new DVDs! Dr McFarlane intends to run 2 marathons to raise money for this, so if you would like to support her please pop in to the library and speak to Mr Carey.
