The Doncaster Book Award has always been a partnership project, and we will be working closely with our colleagues in Doncaster Public Libraries.

We are now on Twitter! Why not follow @DoncBookAward for regular updates!

In 2004, an event was held at Doncaster North City Learning Centre where pupil representatives from several schools got together to pool their ideas on what they wanted from a website. The culmination of their ideas and designs that they put together using Dreamweaver was the first version of this site, brought together by CLC staff on the pupils' behalf. The day was a great success and everyone had a really good time.

In 2005 a searchable reviews database was added and the site was given a makeover for the second year of the award. This work was carried out by Intexta Web Services, working closely with Lyn Hopson of Don Valley Academy & Performing Arts College. As far as possible the pupils' original ideas from the brainstorming session were retained.
