Welcome Back to School!

Hopefully everyone has enjoyed their first few days back and thank you to everyone who has returned their books. If you still have any books at home, please bring them back as soon as possible. Armadale Academy Library welcomed Mrs Lumsden, who joins us in the Library, and bids a fond farewell to Dr Carter, who will be missed.

Ocean Day

Last week we put on a display for World Oceans Day. So yes our books on sharks are still as popular as ever and I know so many of you are concerned about protecting our seas and wildlife. The display will move round the library to leave room for the next big theme of the month. In our slide I have suggested some fiction titles where characters act to protect animals in our oceans, then there is "Ingo" which uses myths (mermaids) and have also included a few dystopian titles linked to the dangers of climate change and flooding in particular. (After all the Book Group would NOT be happy if there were no dystopian titles!). Click on the fiction images to find out more. Let me know what books you would choose to celebrate Ocean Day.
