Welcome to the Library blog for March and April !<\/p>\n

Our Rights Respecting School book display<\/strong> showcases books on diversity, inclusion and well-being. This display was organised by one of our S6 Volunteers, who has also worked on cataloguing hundreds of books this year, a great example of our Pupil Voice and Caritas volunteering in action, thank you.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

World Book Day : our S1 \u2018Design a Book Token\u2019 competition<\/strong> was a great success. The entries were superb, showing both a love of reading and excellent design skills. Our prize-winners enjoyed a lunchtime celebration. Special thanks to Head Girl, Maryam for presenting prizes and giving an inspiring speech to S1.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our S3 lunchtime readers<\/strong> have been busy creating beautiful art, including flowers and bees to decorate our Science week Display, and bookmarks for Miss Melville\u2019s wonderful Coffee Morning for Ukraine<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We love sharing book reviews and recommendations <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We even get replies from fantastic authors! “I’m so happy that Boy 87 was your book of the day. Thank you S1 helpers!”,<\/em> Ele Fountain, author of Boy 87<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the <\/span>Numeracy Wall<\/strong> created by Miss Blackburn\u2019s Sumdog Club. We look forward to holding more numeracy activities in the library throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our S6 contribution to the library<\/strong> has been immense. Their helpfulness and enthusiasm, has made the library a joyful place. Thank you S6 for the Book-Tok idea, now under-way. I will continue to add new titles. Special thanks to Aaminah.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Our S6 held an amazing Culture Day in the Assembly Hall. Seeing the joy and pride in our wonderful, diverse Holyrood community<\/strong> has inspired me to look out for more diverse books by indigenous authors in future.<\/p>\n

Some S1 recommendations showing different cultures, (these are set in Nigeria, and the Himalayas).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks also to S6 for completing the online Library Survey<\/strong>, all your helpful suggestions will go towards making improvements for the coming year.<\/p>\n

This lovely manga style drawing, (by Kieran and Demi), sums up our ethos\u00a0 – Everyone is WELCOME in this Library,<\/strong> so please DO look in and say hello next time you are passing. A warm welcome awaits.<\/p>\n
