Welcome to the King's School Library Message Board.
This is the blog spot for the King's School Library "Dads and Lads, Mums and Sons" Book project.
We’d like you and your son to read 10 books in the 2008-09 school year, and tell us about it!
SIMPLY...
1. Choose a book to read together. You could start with your son’s choice. Then follow with your choice. Then back again. The school library can support you by doing our best to find a second copy so that you don’t have to wait for one person to finish before the other one starts.
2. When a book is finished, like it or hate it, simply write a short review each from your own perspectives and send or e-mail it into the library. We'll publish it here.
At the end of the year we’ll award the prize to the best set of reviews.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER TO READ TOGETHER.
It doesn’t matter what you read, fiction or non-fiction. We would like to hear from you.
If you are interested in taking part please contact the Librarians, and we’ll put you in the picture.
Book suggestions for the mystified also available on request.

A brief history....
The King's School was endowed by Bishop Richard Fox in 1528 although Pevsner dates the Master's House and school (now the Library) at 1497. One of the school's first pupils was William Cecil, later Lord Burghley, chief secretary and adviser to Elizabeth I. but what is undoubtedly more significant is that Isaac Newton attended the school between 1655 and 1660.
