Tomorrow ...

John Marsden's Tomorrow When the War Began was a ground breaking series for young people - a group of ordinary Australian teenagers celebrating the end of high school return from their camping trip to discover our country has been invaded and everyone they know has been rounded up and taken away. How they fight back makes riveting reading. The film version is about to hit cinemas and no doubt it will be as popular as the series. Time to revisit the books and read up on the story yourselves before you see it on the big screen. Check out the promo for the film below.

Why Claude's Corner?

Welcome to our blog - the library of The Henry Lawson High School,Grenfell, NSW. Why Claude's Corner? Because it is the Claude Mendham Memorial Library, named to comemorate Claude Mendham, Mayor of Grenfell from 1961-1970. Check out the plaque on the wall above the magazine rack. Thanks to Year 11 student Ben Peterson for help with the name.
