I made a passing comment to our literacy lead Sophie Tukasi about the lack of a school library and that was that. > > “Ever since that day, she has been relentless in her dedication to making this magnificent resource a reality. > > “We needed to rebuild the love for and curiosity of reading and it’s a wonderful journey we’ve been on as a school to get here. > > “It’s been a real Nether Stowe family affair, with young and old combining to source books and furniture. We’ve even had two and three-year-old relatives of staff helping to stack the shelves, such has been the commitment. > > “We are supremely grateful to the friends and family of Nether Stowe School for their valued time, monetary and book donations that have been this vision a reality.” Among the guests was author Josh Moon, who attended the school between 2009 and 2014. He said: > “My dad was my inspiration for my creative side and I simply love reading. It’s fantastic to know that Nether Stowe has a library again and I am sure it will inspire many students to experience the continued joy of reading.” Fellow former pupil Hannah Clarke, who now works as an illustrator took part in a question and answer session. She said: > “I was inspired to get into books by Mr Berta and current Nether Stowe teacher Mrs Thompson, who is a brilliant artist. > > “I wanted to draw as well as her and I remember producing a big wall art project at the school inspired by Sir Quentin Blake. > > “I have so much to thank Nether Stowe School for as it played such a huge role in my love for books and art. I studied children’s book illustration at university and am now designing my badges for a living with Pawprint Family.”
