My oh my it’s Alex Nye

After 6 years in the making Alex’s new book Dark Matter will be hitting the shelves in a matter(sic) of days and guess which school she has agreed to come and talk to? No really I wish you would tell us because she said she was too busy – oh wait only joking it’s us – Alex will be coming along as part of our Book Week Scotland celebrations.
She has kindly offered to talk to a specially selected group of S1 pupils about her writing and characters and then we have encouraged her* to stay on to partake of a “literary lunch” with library assistants from both St. Ninian’s and Woodfarm High School.

It promises to be a corker of a day and Alex has promised to sign books for pupils – so if you have your own copy bring it along or if you want to buy a copy come and see me by Friday 13th Nov.

Just a heads up – for such a nice soft spoken lady she sure knows how to ramp up the heeby jeebies in her books!!

There’s lots going on this week so if you are not part of this event you are sure to be able to join in another.
The lovely Alex

Calling bibliophiles and all round nice pupils


Do you have a morning break or a lunchtime to spare?

Would you like to get first dibs on all new books into the library?

Would you like to help out at events such as booksales and quizzes?

Then you might just be the type of person that we are looking for.

The library currently has 3 vacancies for library assistant. So, if you think you have what it takes then pop along to the library and let Mrs. Baird know.

All training will be provided.

Library Meeting

Today we had a super attendance for the meeting for new library assistants at St.Ninian’s.

Lots of pupils showed up to express an interest in helping out. I can not wait to get started and would like to say a big thanks to all those pupils who have agreed to help out in the library and by doing so help other libray users and the school.
Well done you!

Keep your eyes on this web site for more library assistant information and perhaps some articles by the assistants themselves!

Helping Hands


Are you a fan of the library and would like to help out?
The school library is currently looking for pupils from all year groups to come along and support their school library.
Can you spend a morning break or a lunchtime helping or even a free period or after school?

There will be a meeting for all those interested on Thursday 15th May from 12.45-55 in the Library.
Don’t worry if you can not make this time – just pop along to the library and speak to Mrs. Baird who will give you some information about what volunteering involves.

I look forward to hearing from you!
