Good news. The Simon Lawrence Library is pleased to announce that we have subscribed to BOOOKFLIX which offers an online streaming service. BOOKFLIX now provides more than 10,000 books for our school, and technically speaking, it is free because all the books are housed in our Library. In addition, it is such a dynamic, bidirectional platform that new books can be added and displayed depending on your demand. Please visit the Library and take a look at our BOOKFLIX Library displays next to the entrance doors every week. At the moment, we can offer various “offline” books including some popular books in Bookflix, a couple of trendy and award-winning books, a variety of books added recently to the Library and some recommended books for you. Should you have any recommended/suggested books, please do not hesitate to ask the Library or email us at [email protected] so that we can obtain them as soon as possible.
