Librarians 2024-25

Author Visit- Tola Okogwu

 

We had the pleasure of welcoming Tola Okogwu into school for our first author visit of the school year. Tola spoke to each year group separately about her life as a reader & writer in school and during adulthood, signed copies of her books and even had a tour of our school library meeting our very excited librarians! A truly inspiring day for everyone at Westacre!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Book Fairs

 

During the year the book fairs have raised over £900 which has been used to buy new books for the library. Thank you to the librarians for helping catalogue, stamp and cover them.smiley

LIBRARIANS - what we do

 

One of our librarians has written this description about the role of a librarian.

"As librarians, we come in on our day at break time and lunchtime and sort out the AR books, fiction and non fiction books. 

We also do labelling, stamping and covering of the new books.

Other jobs are to help others find and choose books and to keep the library tidy and organised."

 

Mrs Burton says

" I am very fortunate to work in a lovely new library with an amazing selection of books, many of them new. The Librarians play a very important role and I could not run the library without them!

A different team of librarians are on duty each day.  Their main role is to sort all the books out and put them away in the correct places so that the library is always ready for pupils to come and find their next book."
