Highlights of 2014

It is the time of year when we all get nostalgic and reflect back on the years events.  These were my library highlights.
  • Rebecca- Winning the review competition at the Scottish Childrens Book Awards.
  • Book group -  For an exciting day at the Mitchell Library Glasgow at the Book Awards. Great place to play hide and seek amongst the book stacks after dark!
  • Barry Hutchison who scared the pants off us then made us roar with laughter. Brilliant!
  • The Debaters- Winning West Lothian Speaks was just fantastic. Mind you -   half an hour to prepare speeches for the final was a little bit nervewracking! Well done to everyone!
  • Our fantastic art installation.A great way to make use of old books.
  • Our new staff/ senior student Book Group. Look forward to our coffee and treats after each holiday read.
  • And of course all the fabulous library helpers who keep me amused and sometimes just a little bemused each day!                                                                                                                                                           Let me know what you enjoyed in the library in 2014.

The Maze Runner book trailer

Just about to start reading The Maze Runner.
Is this just another run of the mill dystopian title?

This book trailer comes from CinemaBook Trailers and is described as speculative and not related to the film. If you have read the book you might want to comment.

                                             An interesting look at the history of Christmas
