Access to the School Library is still limited, however we’ve been ensuring pupils can access books through eBook inductions delivered in classrooms and by giving classrooms sets of book boxes.

Check out October’s newsletter, featuring new books in the Library, highlighted books from Libby, author spotlight on Alex Wheatle aka the Brixton Bard, and Black History Month and a Novels in Verse reading list. September’s newsletter is still available on Teams if you’ve missed it.

Some S1+2 History classes have taken our GLAM workshop. Pupils were shown some of the fantastic resources available on gallery, library, archive, and museum websites that are useful for assignments and for fun!  You can access a list of recommended GLAM website links.

Don’t miss our Middle Grade Monday books for S1-2 pupils, Senior Tuesdays, What’s Next Wednesdays to find your next read, Nonfiction Thursdays, YA Fridays for S3+, Comic Book Saturday, and Scots Book Sunday featuring titles set in or written by authors living in Scotland. We also run an Author of the Week every Monday and themed rading lists to coincide with cultural/literacy days.
