This year we decided our theme in the Library should tie in
with the following week of STEM based activities around the school so we chose Science-Fiction
Heroes and Villains! Fertile ground for us as we all have secret and not so
secret penchants for certain elements of this vast and sprawling genre.

Despite the B-movie style decorations in the Library (which
we fully defend as cool) sci-fi is not all about space, aliens and robots.
Think how science effects our everyday life right now and then think of it
expanding beyond your wildest dreams. That is the limit of sci-fi (i.e. there
isn’t one). So if you've ever read such popular YA titles as Thirteen, The Hunger Games, Divergent, Unwind, A Wrinkle in Time or Uglies you are on board.

And of course, if fiction simply is not your thing at all,
there is always science non-fiction (where it all starts) of which we have a
growing array for you to choose from. Popular science, experiments, myth
busters and theories; It’s all here! Some of our favourites are:
Happy British Science Week!
