As part of the NLC ‘Read to Succeed’ intitiative, all the S1 pupils were gifted a book that they could keep. Here are some of the pupils making their choice from the large selection available. The pupils also all had a visit from a published author. Happy reading!
Last year under the Scottish Attainment Challenge, we in North Lanarkshire launched a ‘Read to Succeed’ initiative aimed at primary to high school transition. The main aim was to make reading for pleasure a priority. Due to last years success, funding was again allocated to ensure that each high school had an author visit for S1. The authors that visited St. Andrew’s High School were Alex Scarrow and Martin Stewart. Ten pupils also attended the closing ceremony in St. Ambrose High school with authors Keith Charters and Dan Freedman. The pupils received a signed copy of a book by Dan Freedman.
To celebrate ‘World Book Day 2019’, the Library ran a competition called ‘Books Quiz’. The winners were:

The N5 Early Education and Childcare pupils had a visit from Marion Kunderan, Librarian for Children and Young Adults from CultureNL. Marion organises Bookbug Sessions and Children’s activities in the public libraries in North Lanarkshire. She explained the format of the sessions which include songs, stories and rhymes. Bookbug Packs are given to every child in Scotland – they are free and full of brilliant books and goodies to share with the child and are designed to encourage a love of reading and demonstrate how important books and reading are in a childs development. . Marion showed a film of the Bookbug Sessions and then read some of the stories, sang songs, rhymes and games from a typical Bookbug Session. The pupils were shown the types of books that would be suitable from birth to early years. All the class joined in with the activities and will be putting some of these skills into practice in a local nursery.
To celebrate ‘Book Week Scotland 2018’, the Library ran a competition called ‘All Things Scottish’. The winners were:
