We had an action packed World Book Day (or rather week!) at All Saint’s Secondary Library.

We started this exciting week with author Hiba Noor Khan who came along to All Saints as part of the Scottish Friendly Book Tour with the Scottish Book Trust. She spent some time talking with the S1’s all about her experience as a writer and how she goes about writing books and creating characters.

Students created some of their own characters as well. They were asked to come up with a name, an age, a pet and something the character was afraid of. There were some fabulous characters coming together by the end of the session and the pupils were learning to add more descriptive language to describe their new creations.

To accompany the visit we now have a new ‘Historic Fiction’ section with some fantastic examples to choose from. Watch this space for some exciting activities after Easter to help students delve into the history of WW2 through the library as well.

To round off our World Book Day events we also had a scavenger hunt around the library looking for hidden letters to spell the secret word.

Finally we have a brand new display board up at All Saints as well with some popular titles to choose from. With lots of new books coming into the library this month there is plenty for all readers to choose from on the shelves.
