Spring is fast approaching. Time for a quick round-up of what we\u2019ve achieved so far this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In January, library activities focused on the Sustainability Team\u2019s Reduce, Reuse and Recycle<\/strong>\u00a0campaign. First up was our pop-up Eco Library<\/strong> in the fuel zone. We like to make books accessible to everyone, so even if you can\u2019t make it to the library \u2013 the library will come to you! Library Helpers made a fantastic effort to transport this brilliant selection of books to the fuel zone, and a lunchtime of browsing and borrowing was enjoyed by many.\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Next up was our extra special Book Swap<\/strong>, rounding off January in style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The aim of these two events was to encourage everyone to borrow and recycle books instead of buying. It\u2019s an absolute pleasure to be part of the school’s programme of Eco- events, led by the Sustainability Team & Miss O\u2019Donnell. Holyrood has just been awarded a second Eco-Schools Green Flag<\/strong>, a fantastic achievement by all.<\/p>\n

‘Book Valentine’ display, by Hajrah, Hania & Umme<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In February, we got romantic, with a Who Will Be Your BOOK Valentine?<\/strong> event. Nominations for favourite books included : Twisted Love, Diary of a CEO (which Umme has just finished reading – great choice), Harry Potter, Timmy Failure, Dear Evan Hansen, and A Girl Called Owl. Well done to our Duke of Edinburgh Volunteers for organising this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Date or no date on Valentine’s Day? It doesn’t matter \u2013 you\u2019re never alone in the Library : “No matter what happens this week; No matter what you see or feel or think or do: I want you to know that in this World – you will always be loved” <\/em>(exerpt of poem by Ana, S5).<\/p>\n

The librarian is reading :<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

Does public speaking send you into a frenzy of worry? Stay cool, calm, and collected with ‘How to Talk so People Will Listen’<\/em> <\/strong>by Lizzie Waterworth<\/em>, and remember – we’re all rooting for you and want you to succeed.<\/p>\n

Happy reading, and have a fantastic World Book Day on 6th March!<\/p>\n
