What’s been happening this month in St Roch’s School Library?
After a brief visit from the sun, Autumn is definitely here. This week our library assistants Niamh and Ava put together an autumnal- themed display, full of lovely seasonal colours.
The library also got a wee refresh this month, with some new carpet. All the library volunteers were on hand to help with emptying the shelves and they deserve a huge Thank You for their efforts. Now the real task is reshelving– but they’re doing a great job of it!
We welcomed all our new S1 pupils to the library this month. Classes learned how to use the library, all about the different books available and they also got their brand new library cards.
We had some kind S2 and S3 pupils on hand to help answer questions and show younger pupils around too. Everyone is ready for a great year of library visits!
Lastly, the new book options have been great this month. Here’s the top picks so far from library assistant Roya.
- Demon Slayer, Kimetsu no Yaiba, volume 1
Pupils say: I would recommend this for your first manga (or your last one!). The storyline is sorted out and it has the right amount of humour. - The fellowship of the ring / J.R.R. Tolkien
Pupils say:A classic which has been made into a movie, what fasntasy fan wouldn’t like it? - One of us is lying / Karen M. McManus
Pupils say:A good thriller with a mind-blowing twist, don’t miss it! - One of us is next / Karen M. McManus
Pupils say:.. and if you like that one try the sequel. The twist is even better than the first book. Finish the series with One of us is back / Karen M. McManus - Spider mania: Spider-Man : cosmic chaos! & Miles Morales Spider-man: The clone saga omnibus
Pupils say: Another version of Spider-man (the better version than Peter Parker) is Miles Morales. He must be one busy teenager!
