S1 Library inductions<\/strong>: We delivered in-house Library inductions to our ten S1 classes. The pupils learn about the library offer, including all the activities and programmes we have planned throughout the year as well as an introduction to our collection with a library treasure hunt. Pupils were given a map of the Library along with five questions to help them locate books and familiarise themselves with each section of the Library.<\/p>\n

SfL Book Group<\/strong>: The Library is working closely with the Support for Learning department to host another book group for our SfL pupils following the success of last year\u2019s group. The pupils have chosen to read Horowitz Horrors by Anthony Horowitz, a collection of short horror stories to see us through the spooky season.<\/p>\n

Pupil Library Committee<\/strong>: Our Pupil Library Committee are back on the scene, helping out in the Library, planning future activities, and creating monthly displays that tie in with cultural and literary events. Our display for September included East and South East Asian Heritage Month, Zero Waste Week, Read a New Book Month, and Maths Week Scotland.<\/p>\n
