Normally I don't take on S1 #SchoolLibraryVolunteers until January, but today it looks like that decision was taken out of my hands by 2 St Margaret Mary's Secondary School S1s who sorted the newest delivery of books for processing. 1 then put in a letter of application for the minion job. 😍

We see access to a well-stocked library a basic human right for children. That's why we have chosen #HumanRightsDay to share our important new survey of school librarians in Scotland. If you care about school libraries, please share our findings so far. 📚✨

It's been a freezing cold and spookily misty day around St Margaret Mary's Secondary School & St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow, but I got this great photo of the local #ChristmasTree 🎄. According to info from Trafalgar Square Tree it's decorated in the Norwegian style.

Some of St Margaret Mary's Secondary School St Margaret Mary’s English Department Ms Rogers' S2 pupils created some wonderfully weird acrostic letters to #SantaClaus from #KevinMcAllister, #KermitTheFrog, & #BuddyTheElf, on their #SchoolLibrary visit today.

Well done to St Margaret Mary's Secondary School Mr Walker's S4 #RaisingAttainment class for putting on a great #ChristmasFayre & coffee morning in the #SchoolLibrary today. I got some excellent Christmas presents & enjoyed some very good cake 😍

I really missed the St Margaret Mary's Secondary School #SchoolLibraryRPG #SchoolLibraryDND games over the Xmas holidays, so had a great time at the 1st game of 2025 today. Aasimars and Moon Elves and Drows, o my!

Today the St Margaret Mary's Secondary School St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow #SchoolLibrary hosted a showing of the #NicholasWinton film #OneLife. The #RightsRespectingSchool group pupils were great, introducing the film. It was a difficult & emotional watch, but necessary. Well done St Margaret Mary’s English Department Ms Rogers too!

In today's St Margaret Mary's Secondary School #SchoolLibraryRPG #SchoolLibraryDND game, I felt so sorry for the poor innocent tree which was set on fire with lightening, frozen by a Ray of Frost, then defrosted/possibly toasted by the party's Fire Elemental.

The pupils of St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow helped the #SchoolLibrary kick off the #WorldBookDay celebrations early. The #ReadYourWay theme had pupils pairing up as reading buddies, reading to the Library plushies, & helping out at the issue desk. A great start to the celebrations! 😍

The days running up to #WorldBookDay are a great time to get St Margaret Mary's Secondary School S1s & S2s started as #SchoolLibraryVolunteers. Today's cohort did an excellent job shelving books, & even came back at lunchtime to do some more work 🥰

The St Margaret Mary's Secondary School #SchoolLibraryVolunteers have done great work on creating a #StPatricksDay #BookDisplay & a shamrock hunt, but I'm annoyed with me for having forgotten yet again, to celebrate #StGertrude (patron saint of cats). Art by Carolee Clark.

Happy Easter holidays to all the pupils & staff of St Margaret Mary's Secondary School & St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow! Well done on making it through another term. The #SchoolLibrary will be open on Monday & Tuesday next week, if any senior pupils are in for Supported Study over the holidays. I'm here to help.

You know you might be drinking too much coffee when one of your pupils calls you Caffeine instead of Kathleen ☕️. Perhaps I am a Coffee Dragon as well as a #BookDragon? Character created by Tim Gonzalez | BEACON RPG

Good luck to all the St Margaret Mary's Secondary School St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow pupils getting exam results tomorrow. You must remember that, however it goes, your #examresultsdontdefineyou. I had a great time at uni & in various jobs before I eventually found my perfect job as your #SchoolLibrarian.

Behold the 1st new St Margaret Mary's Secondary School St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow #SchoolLibrary #BookDisplay of the 2526 school year! #HistoricalFiction is a form of #timetravel back into many different pasts - here are just some of our suggested #TimeMachines! Which would you choose?

Had a great time today joining the St Margaret Mary's Secondary School #EnglishDepartment & S1s for local #storyteller #michaelkerins visit. He's really funny, brings his stories to life. I can't wait to get some copies of his #WeeTom books in the #SchoolLibrary weetom.co.uk

The @stmargaretglasS St Margaret Mary’s English Department S1 #LibraryInductions started today! Ms Rogers's class were initially very quiet but came alive when they started raiding the bookshelves 🥰 Really looking forward to getting to know them better.

The pupils in my schools love your books - they would be thrilled to get their hands on this.

Happy #RoaldDahlDay to the St Margaret Mary's Secondary School St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow pupils & staff! On Monday & Tuesday next week, there'll be a competition, a #GoldenTicket hunt, & maybe a wee surprise! Hope lots of you come along! Happy Birthday Roald Dahl 🎂

The St Oswald’s ALN Secondary, Glasgow #CareerAdvisor Sheena & I were lucky enough today to be in the #SchoolLibrary as some senior pupils had their 1st lesson in running the school coffee cart. #SchoolLibraryMascot Skadi agreed that their first americano tasted wonderful. 🥰☕️
