In February we’re all rainbow colours in the library as we mark the importance of LGBT History month.  We have a special display of both fiction and non-fiction books to highlight both historical and current topics in LGBT communities.   The school library here is a safe space for LGBT pupils, staff and indeed everyone who visits here.  There are always a variety of information books on offer if you have any questions about all matters LGBTQ+.  And remember, you don’t have to be LGBTQ+ to read the fiction titles we have, they’re great stories and often really inspirational.  Don’t forget Miss Cowie (English) runs the LGBTQ+ club too !

As well as having a great book display this month, we’ve got a new section in the library for our poetry books.   Small, but beautifully formed, there’s already a good selection on the poetry shelf.  If what you want isn’t there, you can put in a request for the librarian to source a book for you.

Finally, talking of sourcing books in the library, our reservations are very high this month.  It’s great to see our young people seeking out titles they are looking to read.  Again, if you want a book which you can’t see on the shelves, come and talk with the librarian and she will see if she can get the title for you.
