Hiya everyone, my name is Charlie and I am a volunteer library assistant at the school. One of my favourite books is called “The Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden” by the Author Jonas Jonasson. However, my favourite author is J.K.Rowling ( I am still trying to convince Mrs Lamont to let me do my dissertation on Harry Potter.) I enjoy lots of different TV series like Sherlock, Star Trek and The Thick Of it (but some of you shouldn’t be watching that.) I enjoy going to the theatre to see all sorts of different things; musicals, comedy and dramas etc. My favourite time of the year is whatever time the Edinburgh Fringe is because it is full of tons and tons of interesting things to see and do (I would recommend the Addams Family.) I am a fun and approachable character and I’m always here to help.

Favourite Author – J.K. Rowling
Favourite TV Show – Star Trek the Next Generation
Favourite Colour – Whatever you want it to be
Favourite Food – Thai food
Books – Currently reading Winger and Laughter in the Dark
Poetry – “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” by Dylan Thomas
I have been a library assistant for a whole 20 minutes so you can trust me to help. I am in sixth year, help with the Saltire Award programme and help out at Isobel Mair school. I became a library assistant because I love books and you should too! A person I would most like to meet is Casey Neistat because he is one of the best modern story tellers alive.

Hi, my name is Holly and I am a volunteer library assistant at St. Ninian’s. My favourite author is Jennifer Brown and my favourite book of hers is ‘Hate List.’ I love to eat food (who doesn’t) and play the trumpet (but not at the same time!) My ideal story is probably very dramatic with lots of plot twists. I have a tendency to be quite timid, but talk to me about books and I won’t shut up!

Favourite author– Jennifer Brown
Favourite TV show– Doctor Who/Sherlock
Favourite colour– Green/blue
Favourite food– Steak Pie with soggy pastry
Books I enjoy- ‘Hate List’, ‘Perfect escape’, Apple and Rain’, ‘Mind Blind’… I could go on.

I became a library assistant because I was hanging about the library all the time and thought I would be as well to do something useful that could help somebody out. It is a great thing to do because I have been able to share my love of reading with other pupils who I would have otherwise never have met and exchange book suggestions.

Why not pop in to the library and say hello!

Welcome to the first in a series to help pupils get the most out of their school library.

I am biased and know I have the best pupils but when they are as creative as this it just goes to prove I am right.

Cast:
Caterina stars as very helpful library assistant
Goudham stars as confused borrower
and special guest star,
Poppy as Mrs Baird.

A brilliant comic version of what goes on in our library

Keep coming back to our web pages for more in this series…

Each week I will be posting about one of my lovely library helpers – this week it’s Toni.

Indulging in some Potter

Hi, my name is Toni and I am a volunteer library assistant at St. Ninian’s. My favourite book is Skin Game the fifteenth book in the Dresden Files collection written by Jim Butcher. My favourite authors, however, are Darren Shan and J.K.Rowling as they are both excellent fantasy writers in different ways and using different styles. I enjoy watching NCIS and eating popcorn, usually at the same time. I love to read and write. Although shy sometimes I am lively around friends and can be a little crazy sometimes. I love all things fantasy and out of this world as I find it a great way to escape from the worries of real life. I also enjoy the great outdoors and watching TV.

Favourite author– Daren Shan and J.K.Rowling
Favourite TV show– NCIS
Favourite colour– Black (or red)
Favourite food– chicken nuggets and chocolate ice-cream (not together)
Books I enjoy– Skulduggery Pleasant, The Saga of Darren Shan and Runaways are but a few.

I have been a library assistant for many years but as I am now in sixth year I have taken a more prominent role during some of my free periods. I became a library assistant in order to give back to the school community, also as I enjoy reading it is a great why to recommend books to people and even find new reads that I myself might find interesting. The author I would most like to meet would be J.K.Rowling as she is a huge inspiration for me to start my writing.

Why not pop in to the library and say hello!
