With the Library back into full swing after last month\u2019s S1 Library inductions, it has been one of the busiest months to date! We\u2019ve issued over 700 books to our BGE classes this month alone.<\/p>\n
Creative Writing Competition: We\u2019re receiving some excellent piece for our Quills Creative Writing Competition on the theme of \u2018Hope\u2019 and\/or \u2018Scotland\u2019. The winners will be selected by our Pupil Library Committee panel judges and announced during Book Week Scotland.<\/p>\n
