Welcome back to school Eastbank ! It has been a lonely library without you all. Can you believe our library actually looks this big? Isn’t it weird looking at it without any pupils in?
New Feature – Click the link. In our blog posts now, if you click on any underlined text, you’ll be taken to some exciting new internet content. This could be a book review or even an author’s page. So there’s lots more for you to explore in the blog this year.
S1 Induction Time It’s great to see all the new S1 pupils come into the library for the first time this month. Everyone has now been given their library cards and can borrow books for the first time. Remember, the library is free and you can borrow books for 2 weeks, or longer if you need more time to read the books you have. But remember to bring them back !! Stuck for an idea what to read? Why not check out our display of new books? This table is where you find a selection of new books covering all subjects.
Creation Corner
Don’t forget about the other activities you can do in the library. Our creation corner has been very popular this month, with a gratitude rainbow, a brilliant Mickey Mouse drawing and a good few filled in word searches, I’ve been blown away with what you’re doing. You could see your work here if you hand it in to Mrs Marshall !
New books to borrow
On the new releases table, you can find the following books. As a sneak peak, click on the links and you will be able to read all about them ! If you want a book, just ask the librarian who will be happy to reserve one for you.
Echostar is Always Listening Definitely the creepiest of the new books, and a great read to set you up for Halloween in October ! It’s not ghosts and ghouls, it’s even scarier than that. Ruby and her best friend have discovered a new AI tool which helps them get great grades at school. But is that just too good to be true? Read this Super Short story and find out….
Matt Goodfellow has done it again with this book, he simply gets better and better. Nathan is struggling at school, and trying his best to keep the few friends he has. 
But what if your best friend starts doing things they shouldn’t really be doing? And it’s serious. Combined with trouble at home, the Final Year is a great read and one you can identify with concerning your first year at a new school.
Unfamiliar 
What an amazing reader request has just come in to Eastbank. The graphic novel of Unfamiliar and it’s follow up have arrived. An adorable wee witch – Planchette – moves into a haunted house together with her familiar Marlow. Not a problem for a witch you’d think ! But a bargain haunted house throws up some funny problems for the young witch and her familiar. A cosy read about insiders, outsiders and all those in-between, there’s not much you can’t love about Unfamiliar. Ask Mrs Marshall to reserve both copies if you want double the fun.
Author of the Month – Tom Palmer
Our first author of the month for this term is Tom Palmer. Tom writes amazing books on football, the Second World War and many other things. His books are in our Super Shorts section, which means they are a great read with not so many pages. Also they have yellow pages which means pupils with dyslexia challenges can read the words with more ease. But everyone can borrow these books and they are amazing reads
