Oathall students celebrated World Book Day, and the National Year of Reading, at lunchtime events all week in the library.

On World Book Day itself, a number of students volunteered to participate in an inspiring Open Mic session in front of a sizeable audience.

We heard from students about the books and authors they love, some read extracts, others shared poems they’d composed themselves.

We collected together a few excerpts of some of the students that took part in the compilation video below – which you can also watch on our recently launched YouTube channel.
