Pupil librarians are chosen from our Years 5 and 6 each term. They learn how to use the library as independent learners. At lunch times two junior librarians help to monitor the library with the school librarian, Mrs Rooney. 

They learn how the electronic management system works and have chance to share their love of reading and books with other pupils. 

If you would like to be a Junior Librarian please let the librarian know at the start of the new term in September. 

Pick up an application form. 

Once all the applications are in there will be an interview.

 

Over the holidays why not do a little research into the role of a Junior Librarian and come prepared for the job!
