March in St Paul’s

Leave a reply

March was an extremely busy month in the library. We had various World Book Day events and two amazing author sessions. Let’s have a look 😊

World Book Day 2024

The library was very busy during the week of World Book Day. We had a book themed Scavenger Hunt, a Big Book Quiz and an Easter basket full of goodies that was raffled off to teachers. All of the events were organised and ran by our Senior Literacy Ambassadors. Congratulations go to them, they did an absolutely fantastic job 🥰

Author Visits

During March the library hosted not one but two fabulous author visits. The first author was Hiba Noor Khan talking about her book ‘Safiyyah’s War’

Our second author visit was from Brian Conaghan talking about his book ‘Treacle Town’. Brian’s visit was part of the Library Young Team Project supported by the Scottish Library Improvement Fund.

Happy New Year and welcome to the first blog post of 2024 🥳

New Furniture 🛋️

This month the library received some new furniture, kindly donated by Silverburn Shopping Centre. We now have two lovely new seated areas that can be used for private study, quiet reading or small group work.

Reading Schools 📚

Our senior Reading Ambassadors have been working with the Rights Respecting Schools group to create a display around the theme of Identity tying in with Holocaust Memorial Day on 27th January.

Newsletter 📜

The library newsletter is being sent out to all staff and parents this week. It’s full of recommendations, library news and activities.

St Paul’s at Christmas Time

It’s Chriiiiiiiistmaaaaaas!

“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the library
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
Because the prelims were on..”

T’is the season of giving and currently the library desk is giving serious festive vibes, unlike the display which is giving serious lack of festive stock vibes. However, we have tried, and feel proud about shoehorning in that Christmas cookbook.

An attempt has been made 🙂

Staff Borrow Box

The holidays are fast approaching and what better time to catch up on your reading. In the true spirit of Christmas the Reading Schools team has created this Staff Borrow box. It contains contemporary YA fiction and non-fiction titles for your delectation. The box is situated within the school foyer. To borrow a book, simply fill in the form with your name, title of the book and date of borrowing. Just sign it back in when you are finished. Merry Christmas!!
