This is the first World Book Day Award to celebrate the pleasures of reading and the winning schools will be given the chance to transform their libraries. The first prize is £10,000, with a second prize of £5,000, and three runners-up will each receive £3,000 worth of books.
Whether we win or not, this has been a rewarding activity for the students who have really enjoyed taking part in the competition as you can see from these photographs of some of the displays.
Some quotes from the students:
"Books aren't made of pages and words; they are made of hopes, dreams and possibilities"
"A life without books is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point"
"Reading is dreaming with open eyes"
"Books are uniquely portable magic"
