Pupil Library Committee Party<\/strong><\/p>\n

To say thank you to our fabulous 50+ pupil library committee members for all their dedication, hard work, and ideas over the year, we threw a huge bash. A big thank you to school staff for helping out. We enjoyed healthy wraps and a selection of snacks with vegan, halal, kosher, and gluten-free options. A good time was had by all.<\/p>\n

Up next: <\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking forward to the next school term, which will be even bigger and better!<\/p>\n

Challenges and Contests<\/b>: We\u2019ll continue our Bookopoly and Ask Me What I\u2019m Reading challenges as well as introduce a couple of new ones, including Scottish Read Trip and Read A Winner to encourage pupils to pick up some homegrown talent or a prize-winning books.<\/p>\n

Library Rearrangement: <\/b>The library has undergone a huge rearrangement, thanks to help of members of our library committee. We\u2019ll introduce our new sections and layout in the new term.<\/p>\n

Pupil Library Collective<\/b>: With the growing interest in our already fabulously large committee, we\u2019ve decided to rename it as a \u2018collective\u2019 to reflect the range of different voices and ideas from our pupils who all contribute equally to the success of the School Library.<\/p>\n

Reading Schools<\/b>: We will continue our Reading Schools accreditation journey. Follow on our twitter with the hashtag #ReadingSchools<\/p>\n

Schools of Literature<\/b>: New this coming term is the Schools of Literature course designed for S2 pupils as part of the Schools Of programme taking place in Shawlands Academy.<\/p>\n

Workshops<\/b>: The School Library will continue to host a number of eResource workshops that are useful for National 5-Advanced Higher courses. Each workshop will make pupils aware of a range of valuable resources helpful for their assignments and teach navigational and search techniques.<\/p>\n

Publications: <\/strong>We\u2019ll continue to circulate our monthly School Library newsletter on Teams and keep an eye out for quarterly issues of Swatch, the Glasgow School Libraries\u2019 eMagazine.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
