Hamish | Library@St-Ninians

What a great success our Book Week has been!
Our book sale raised over £150 for the school library and enabled lots of pupils to grab a book bargain – £2 a book – madness.

Lots of pupils put their origami skills to the test and made their very own tartan book tammy – a big thanks to Ms McGrory and Ms Beaton for helping with the making and the showing and the doing.
Here is a pic of Aoife with hers actually working!

We had a huge response from pupils and a smaller ( wimps!) response from staff to out Scot or Not competition – congratulations to Rhona and Mariam in S2 who jointly answered the most questions correctly and won 3 books each from the book sale.
And super well done to Mr Blair in the Technical dept. who beat all the rest of the staff and managed to munch away with a tunnock of prizes!

It was also the turn of the library to have a surprise in the form of love letters from S1 – thanks to all who took the time to show the amour for a special place!

No one was able to correctly identify where Hamish was on his holidays – Eilean Donan for those who were wondering so I get the keep a copy of the brand new Wimpy Kid for myself -or maybe I will start up another competition in the new year.

I hope everyone who got involved this year had a great time and who know what we will be able to get up to next year.
Start planning!

Are you ready for all the fun and games starting next week?

You could:

follow the library on twitter @stninianslib and read a clue each day to find out where Hamish the cow has been on his holiday and you could win a copy of the BRAND NEW Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
If that is not your thing you could come along to our annual book sale in the forum. Hundreds of books to choose from and all £2 or less!
If competitions are much more your thing then you could take part in the Scot or Not competitions – a list of 20 things, places or people and you have to work out if they are Scottish or err Nottish! – Free to enter and entries to be handed in to the library by Friday 28th. DO NOT HELP YOUR TEACHER – let them try to work it out on their own.

If you are more of a fashion diva or a bookish type them combine both interests with a tartan book tammy making extravaganza. Just pop in to the library at any lunchtime 24-28 and Mrs Baird will show you how!.

As if that was not enough check out the Book Week Scotland web site for chances to vote for your favourite Scottish character, make a reading pledge or even and this would be lovely for you to write a love letter to your library – remember library not me ( I know that will be tough).
