Why celebrating “world book” for a day when we can do it for an entire WEEK!
From the 28th of February till the 4th of March, the St Mungo’s library had a full program of book festivities to give the chance to every pupils in the school to celebrate.
The daily S1 library visits enjoyed a very special scavenger hunt made for the occasion. Every participants received a book token to get a free book from their favourite bookshop in town.
At lunch, the library helpers worked hard to display all the free books we received for the occasion and made sure to spread the love of reading among the school.
What will be book festivities without any competitions?!
We had two exciting competitions running that week:
The book cover competition designed by some of our Higher and S3 Elective young people in partnership with the Art department.
Here are the three winners:
The bookface competition with very creative S3 pupils.
Here are some fantastic entries:
And finally at lunch, the library “display committee” had the responsibility to count the votes for the Scottish Teen Book prize.
They really embraced the task!
World book day(s!) was a huge success at St Mungo’s with more than 500 tokens given away to actual and potential readers!
