In addition to the Book Sale organised by the TY students, there was a form time quiz where each year was pitted against other as they tried to guess the Book Dingbats competition and there was a "Guess-the books-teachers-read-in-their-teens" quiz in the form of posters all around the school with images of book covers. Students puzzled over the posters trying to work out which teacher had read what.
In the Library itself the World Book Day Monster Doodle Scroll was on display - Ms. Mahon's art students had drawn little doodles of favourite books that they had read. There was a display of the Scratch photos taken of each year, word puzzles and an exhibition of old "Q" magazine music photos.
