Junior Librarians

Autumn Term 2023

Welcome to our new junior librarians who have been selected for this important role from our Year 5 and 6 children.

Congratulations to them on successfully completing their application.

Patrick, Bethany, Jasmine & Rhea

Our junior librarians will have the important job of making sure the library is a quiet, neat and cosy place to read for all. They will be inspiring their peers with book recommendations.

 

Alfie, Alba, Giancarlo & Risti

Our junior librarians will be responsible for monitoring our book corners throughout the school as well as being reading buddies for our younger children in the library at lunchtimes.

 

Eren, Callistus, Eleonora, Aisha, & Sadie

They have all now had their library induction and completed their 'Library Detective Book Hunt' to help build library information skills. This involves learning about the workings of the library, how to shelve and retrieve books using the Dewey system for Non-Fiction and the alphabetical system for Fiction.
