We received a wonderful delivery from Waterstones. Naruto 1-27 especially will fly off the shelf.

I also visited the School Library Outreach department in the Mitchell Library and sourced some amazing non-fiction titles to add to our collection. Watch this space.

I had the opportunity to participate in the English Department’s S1 curriculum meeting. Really looking forward to supporting the new curriculum themes in the library, through book buying, displays, activities and more.

Our new library class visit timetable starts next week!

We celebrated World Book Day in Bellahouston with free WBD books and tokens, a book giveaway and a display of award winning and nominated books of the last year.

In February we celebrated LGBT History Month in Bellahouston with our display.

As promised, we have a display of our newly purchased stock from our participatory budgeting session last term. A great addition to the collection. Great choices everyone!

Also, we received some new senior fiction stock as part of the same project. List below:

“This Project is supported by the Scottish Government School Library Improvement Fund”

A busy 6 weeks at Bellahouston!

We’ve had:

A big new books delivery and display.

A participatory budget session – a group of pupils helped to choose books to further diversify our collection. The book delivery has now arrived. Watch this space. (Many thanks to @wwaterwriters & the Scottish Government School Library Improvement Fund for their support).

Book Week Scotland – we had competitions, a display, a book giveaway and other bookish activities. Well done to the winner of our bookmark design competition, Shanza in S4!

A Christmas/Winter display.

An author visit from Victoria Williamson. Ms Donnelly’s S1 class had so much fun creating their own stories at this creative writing workshop. Again, watch this space.

A P7 transition visit. A group of P7s visited the library and took part in a book tasting activity.
