“Book it!”

Hi Strands fans. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the clue of "Book it!" probably relates to books. But, of course, that could be anything from famous works of fiction to authors.
Thankfully, I spotted that it was neither of these things pretty quickly, as I saw the word "library". When this failed to be accepted, I realized it had to be part of a longer spangram, so worked backwards and found the word "public" before it. I connected the two to spell out PUBLICLIBRARY.
With the board split in two and the theme established, the rest was a doddle. I picked up BROWSE, BORROW and LEARN from top to bottom on the right-hand side, before moving over to the left.
With four words on this section of the grid, it was a little trickier, but not by much. READ and STUDY were along the bottom of the board, and I found MEET immediately above them.
The final anagram of "EWRNE" gave me a bit of a pause, but there are only so many things it could be, and I eventually came up with RENEW to complete the puzzle.
