The teachers and staff are back to school meanwhile, the librarian, never really left…

Indeed, I have spend most of the summer working in the library.

You must wonder: “what did she do during this 7 weeks, alone in school, like an wandering ghost?” Well, rather than a ghost, I was more like a busy bee.

The first weeks, I embraced the “dynamic shelving mode”. I placed all the books in facing display making the collection more appealing, accessible, navigable, fun, enjoyable for our readers.

I created a “Shelf help” section! Fiction & NF books have been selected to help pupils overcome experiences, thoughts and feelings that can be overwhelming. 

I designed and replaced all the library signage, to make it clearer, more inclusive and practical for our readers:

I weeded the collection and recycled book jackets making space for new books:

I received NEW STOCK (hooray!!) which means that I had to catalogue and displayed it:

I worked with my librarian colleagues on the “Well being for storytelling project” involving mastering very complicated story base games (some of this games have a book rule of +20p!!)

I followed online webinars and training: 

Towards the end of the summer break, the library has been involved in the P7 transition programme, offering library activities to the future S1: 

And ultimately, I created 200+ library cards for the new S1:

A buzzzy 🐝 indeed 😜

The library is super ready to rock this new school year!
