The Languages Faculty and the Librarian aimed to promote reading for pleasure and in particular promote books written by modern Scottish authors.

The event was very, well supported by senior students and teachers. After breaking the ice with a book game, everyone chatted over tea and coffee!

We were delighted to welcome Susan Varga, from the CEC Public Library Service. Susan presented a short power point and talked to our students about accessing E.books, by joining the Public Libraries. She explained that this could be easily done online, nowadays, and left pre-activated membership cards and information packs for our students. Staff then held a “book auction” where they promoted their favourite books, through a light-hearted but fast-paced, hard sell!! Students were then invited to browse and take away one, of the free books available; borrow school library books aimed at seniors and ….activate their Public Library membership, as soon as possible.
