Our S1s were full of praise for our visiting author Elizabeth Wein: "I liked her stories because I could picture them in my head." "The visit got to your heart, and helps you understand the backstory and what happened to people." #ReadingSchools #HolocaustMemorialDay

Celebrating #GreenLibrariesWeek with this amazing hand-drawn sign! We've been trialling unlaminated library signs and library assistant Beth has been creating some fantastic pieces for our Young Adult Fiction section #EDCSecondarySchoolLibraries #ReadingSchools
As it’s #GreenLibrariesWeek in our S2 library periods we are researching what we can do to help our planet! Using books, @IndependenceEdu and @thedaytweets, we’re finding great advice we can put into practice! #EDCSchoollibraries #doingourbit #savetheplanet #libraries
It's #GreenLibrariesWeek and #EDCSecondarySchoolLibraries are showcasing the wonderful ways we offer a green and climate-conscious service. This brilliant bookmark was created by the (now retired) librarian @LenzieSchLib as a clever way to use up scraps of wool!
Happy #NationalPoetryDay! We're celebrating with a special Maths-themed poetry display in the library. Our @stninsmaths department have all written haikus, and pupils & staff can come and vote for their favourites #ReadingSchools
