BOOKS ABROAD

The school library recently donated 29 boxes of non-fiction books to the Scottish charity Books Abroad, who will recycle the books and send them to schools and other institutions in developing countries.   The charity’s mission statement believes that through the promotion of literacy and education, children and young people, are provided with the means of a sustainable escape route from the plight of poverty.   Mrs Scott, the school librarian, would like to give a special thanks to her library volunteers, Charles Carroll and Sarah Cooper (both S6) for helping with the mammoth task of packing up and labelling each box of books.
