Please note that all library books are due back after the Easter break. Make sure you put in your school bag before the new term. And don’t worry about how late your book is, as Ms Boyd won’t be checking dates. She just needs the books back!
A lot of great new books have been added to the library recently. Make sure you are able to borrow them by bringing back your books in April.

I will be updating this as I find other resources and so please share any other good sites that you use.

You wake up. Alone. In the Library. Where is your class? Or teacher? Or Ms Boyd?
Can you solve this digital escape room?
Set in the library and some other places that you might recognise from books, you must solve the puzzles to escape!
If you enjoyed this, a list of digital escape rooms is available here. Why not try one for based on a book, for families or teenagers, or even educational?
Many thanks to Ms Smith at Kilsyth Academy Library for sharing her digital escape room.
