A Pupil Librarian Update




Congratulations to our Year 8 Pupil Librarians who have now passed probationary training with flying colours! Our shiny new student librarian badges have arrived and we are really looking forward to giving them out.

At this stage our pupil librarians have shown that they can organise the trolley accurately and re-shelve returned books correctly. Recent tasks our pupil librarians have excelled in also include picking out new books for us to order for the library, learning how to barcode and tag new books that have arrived at the library to be processed, adding the correct coloured label to the spine of our books and reinforcing books with plastic so that they remain in the library for as long as possible. They have also put up beautiful displays and helped to select books for promotion in the library. Our Year Nines are now gaining confidence staffing the library desk and in all aspects of book processing.

All this excellent work is leading up to the Pupil Librarian’s Training Day in December where our pupil librarians can learn even more and meet a visiting author!


It is lovely to look back at the letters our current pupil librarians wrote when they applied for the role and see how much they have learned and how much the enthusiasm they displayed in their writing really shines through every day when they are in the library. Keep up the good work!
