School has been back for just over a month already, can you believe it?

S1 library inductions were a little different this year, and went better than they ever have (in my opinion, anyway)! Pupils took part in a library scavenger hunt to help familiarise them with the library and its rules, books, and features. Each pupil was also given a bookmark along with their library cards, containing important information on how to check out books, join the library team, and utilise the free eResources available to them with their school cards.

The library has been working in collaboration with the English Department to create a wonderful reading programme for the S1 pupils, as well. The programme includes a reading journal, weekly scheduled access to the library during English, and reciprocal reading groups to help engage and support some of our more reluctant learners.

There’s never been a better time to visit the library, as the collection is freshly weeded, and chock full of brand new titles (and even some old favourites). Come by and check them out – from comics to nonfiction, there’s something for everyone!

And while you’re here, make sure you check out the weekly Library Poll! Every week there will be a new question on the whiteboard next to the New Books. This week’s question: What is your favourite film? Stop by and have your voice heard!
