Big news for our book lovers! 😍 We have some fantastic new books coming to Cantell Library, and our students helped choose them! 🎉
As part of the 2026 National Year of Reading, we were delighted to receive funding from the Department for Education to support Reading for Pleasure at Cantell.
We asked students what they wanted to see on our shelves, and we've taken their suggestions on board! From Manga and Graphic Novels to Music, Gaming Fiction, Sports Stories, Sci-Fi and Dystopia, there's plenty to look forward to! 📚
Our new collection will be available to borrow from 1st December, so make sure to pop into the library and have a look!
We can't wait to see which books you choose first! 💙
Happy reading, Cantell! 📖
