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 November’s newsletter, featuring new books in the Library, highlighted books from Libby, author spotlight on Scottish author Theresa Breslin, a National Non-Fiction Novemeber and Wartime reading lists. October’s newsletter is still available on Teams if you’ve missed it.

Book Week Scotland is celebrated 16th-22nd November and will be taking place digitally this year. Some classes will be taking part in the virtual book festival. In previous years we’d have celebrated BWS with book swaps and activities. This year, we’ve gone digital. We’ll be writing a letter to our future selves. Each letter will be completed and sent to the School Librarian who will print it out and store it in a time capsule. You can collect it on your final year of school.

Check out some of the fab recommendations we have on Twitter over the month. View the Twitter Book List October 2020. 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.
