August 2020 Roundup – St Margaret Mary’s Secondary School Library

Welcome back pupils and staff! As we adjust to evolving social distancing guidance, access to the Library is currently limited. It will regularly be reviewed in line with the official guidance.  In the meantime, the Library has been reaching out to pupils in alternative ways to ensure access access to resources to support their learning.

The school library newsletter is back, now more  compact featuring new books, eBooks and eAudiobooks from Libby and BorrowBox, and free music available through Freegal, along with author spotlight, reading lists, reading challenges, and book reviews. The newsletter will be circulated monthly in addition to the new Glasgow School Libraries eMagazine, Swatch, which will be circulated quarterly. Keep a look out for the first issue due shortly.

View the reading list of books featured on Twitter. Don’t miss our Middle Grade Monday books for S1-2 pupils, Senior Tuesdays, What’s Next Wednesdays to find your next read, Nonfiction Thursdays, YA Fridays for S3+, Comic Book Saturday, and Scots Book Sunday featuring titles set in or written by authors living in Scotland. We also run an Author of the Week every Monday and themed rading lists to coincide with cultural/literacy days.
