Libby Inductions:<\/strong> Now that the s1s have received their iPads, we visited s1 English classes to deliver Libby inductions. Pupils were given their library card numbers and given step by step instructions on how to access and navigate the eBook app suing their School Library cards.\u00a0 Pupils loved the ease of access and range of topics and genres available on the app. For more information, visits the Glasgow Life Libraries Libby<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Black History Month<\/strong>: We compiled scores of books by Black British authors as part of an S3s English reading project for Black History Month. Pupils were presented with a range of fiction and nonfiction books for junior, Young Adult, and Senior audiences to select from.<\/p>\n

Pupil Library Committee<\/strong>: Our new Pupil Library Committee recruits successfully completed their first task of helping to process a huge six-box delivery. They helped stamped the date labels with the school library logo, sorted and arranged each book according to genre or subject, and helped shelved the books into the appropriate places.<\/p>\n

Creative Writing Contest<\/strong>: Our Creative Writing Contest submission date was the 31st<\/sup> October, and we received six excellent entries from pupils across all year groups. They have been handed over to our pupil judges who will select and announce the winner come Monday, 18th<\/sup> November during Book Week Scotland.<\/p>\n
