Lunchtime library meetings with the LGBT pupil group
Author event with Michael Lee Richardson – and creating a beautiful Pride poem
Creating displays to celebrate various LGBTQI+ events and decorating the library with relevant posters
LGBT Pupil group deciding on how to present the collection
Ongoing:
Creating an LGBTQI+ directory, packed full of information and booklists
A full audit of our LGBTQI+ collection including information on representation
The Tuesday Chill Out Club is back. A quiet space at lunchtime for reading (with beanbags and cushions!), mindfulness colouring, playing chess, studying, chilling out and winding down.
It will now be co-run by my S6 helpers; Amber, Amanda and Reagan.
We’ve decided to open it up to all year groups so that seniors have a quiet space to study in the run up to exams.
A busy few weeks in All Saints Library!
The Chessnuts Chess Club has started on Mondays at lunchtime. We’ve had a great turn out of players, some new to the game and some improving their skills and helping out the others.
We received lots of new fiction and non-fiction stock as well. A packed New Books display.
We are celebrating Black History Month with our 3 displays of amazing titles.
Our senior helpers Amber and Reagan have been hard at work; categorising books by genre, putting up our Halloween display and starting our new lunchtime book club on Tuesdays (with Amanda).
It’s been a busy few weeks here in Lochend Library.
We had a visit from the wonderful Neil Slorance who inspired our S2 class to create their own comic characters. This was part of our EAL Reading Group Project which was supported by the Scottish Government School Library Improvement Fund.
We are celebrating Black History Month with our displays of non-fiction and fiction. Come and check them out.
The LGBTQI+ safe space is taking place in the library at lunchtime on Fridays. Pop along if you fancy a chat in a welcoming space 🙂
