200 books in an alcove under a stairwell do not a Library make.
School librarians equip children with the literacy skills to learn, relax & find information we need for fulfilled lives & to be informed citizens.

Inspired by Kathleen Jamie and her collective poetry where she outsources lines to make new works. Pupils and staff have been asked for their favourite first lines of books - we will be using these on #NationalPoetryday- inspired by this year's theme of PLAY!

Calling all pupils - we need your help for #GreenLibrariesWeek for a spiky green project. See Mrs Baird for more...

Sorry to say the library will be closed tomorrow but super excited to say I will be off to #BetterWorldBooks for a #GreenLibraries event with @cilipscotland.bsky.social I can't wait to hear about all the green projects & we get a tour of all the delicious books they have. Sounds like a perfect day.

Thank you so much to the lovely people @hachettechildrens.bsky.social for our fantastic book club books. Pupils were so excited to get started and even happier when we said they could keep them.

Great fun lesson with S2 today talking about judging books by their covers and what works and what doesn't. We were wondering about this one.
(maybe turn round?) What is your favourite/ least favourite cover and why?
