Just a small selection of our new books below. A new book list is ready and raring to go so expect some more new books very soon. Some brilliant requests and suggestions from our new S1s have been added to the list.
A big welcome to our new S1 cohort and a big welcome back to everyone else!
In August all the S1s participated in their library inductions and received their school library cards. It was great to see how keen they are to use the library and to hear about their favourite genres (more of which below)…
Over the summer the fiction has been rearranged by genre to make it easier to find your favourite books. Judging by the book issues so far, I’ll be looking to buy in more Romance, Spooky & Scary and Thriller & Mystery.
So many new books delivered over the summer holidays. Just in time for our S1 inductions.
Check them out!
The library looks a little different after the holidays. It was a big job but now the fiction has been rearranged by genre. This should make it much easier for everyone to find their favourite types of books.

The result:
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.

In February we celebrated LGBT History Month in Bellahouston with our display.
To celebrate LGBT History Month, the librarian visited the LGBTQI+ pupil group for a chat, our LGBTQI+ participatory budgeting session books arrived and members of the pupil group did a great job creating our LGBT History Month display.
