@BBCScotLearn showing @HolyRoodRCHigh the real skill involved in filming & interviewing @SarahCrossan. The pupils were absolutely buzzing afterwards - what a great start to the new term! Reading really can change lives @edbookfest !

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

So many thanks to @BBCScotLearn for giving 4 @HolyRoodRCHigh 4th yrs the chance to learn interviewing and filming techniques & special thanks to @SarahCrossan for being their 1st interviewee. Such a fantastic experience @scottishbktrust. Media stars of the future!

So the official photo of @HolyRoodRCHigh 2nd Year & 4th Year pupils @SarahCrossan @edbookfest. We assume that the pupil pointing to the space beneath him is doing so in a metaphorical fashion....but we can't be sure 😀! Session itself was great fun & we're loving the free books!

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

@HolyRoodEnglish @SarahCrossan ....and what a great session it was @edbookfest! We all thought that @SarahCrossan was brilliant and already I have had 4 pupils come in to the Library and say that they are loving "Where the Heart Should Be". Great session, great book!

And what a fantastic session it was! Big thanks to all the young people who brought their great ideas & energy, to @librarygeekery & @Libraryholyrood for their support and to Pete from @wearesuperfan for being the coolest facilitator EVER.

See you next term! 🤩 #ExpressYourself

What a great session with @Jono_Lancaster this lunchtime in the Library @HolyRoodRCHigh. The pupils loved meeting a real live author and he took time to sign jotters, free books, anything! And thanks Jono for showing us what is really important in life. You're a legend.

Our pop-up project for 12-16 year olds is back this term for 2 sessions! Join us in @CastlebraeCCC on Tue 4 & 11 June 3.30-5.50pm.
We've done zine making, puppetry, creative writing, tabletop games, made films and sound effects! What will happen this time??

So I always absolutely love it when great readers become great adventurers. Here's proof that @DofE can take the most literate people into the wild! Well done, Sam, Amelia and Gaby for taking your reading journey further (see what I did there?!) @HolyRoodRCHigh

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

I have been so impressed this exam diet with the amount of 4th year pupils @HolyRoodRCHigh studying every day in the Library for their upcoming exams @sqanews. It's absolutely admirable, guys. Good luck to you all!

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

"So, what do you actually do over the holidays, Ms. McCabe?" is a question I am often asked by literate pupils... here's the answer 📚! Some brand new titles & some much loved (& much needed!) replacements for all @HolyRoodRCHigh. Looking forward to welcoming you all back!

[Teen Titles @teentitlesmag]

Read @Libraryholyrood reviews of #KesiaLupo latest Thriller 🌟✨🌟 in this 💎 interview @teentitlesmag issue 84 ‼️‼️‼️

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

So as we all know @HolyRoodRCHigh, normally Ms. McCabe's favourite day is #WorldBookDay but there's also a lot to be said for our Culture Day. Great to see so many of our regular library users taking part in what is a truly inclusive event. Keep well, keep happy, keep reading!

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

So proud of the contribution that @HolyRoodRCHigh made to the @EdinRemakery collection here @Libraryholyrood. Parents, pupils staff all dug deep to find lots of old tech to donate....apparently some of this stuff will end up in newly minted coins. How great is that?!?!

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

#ThisLibraryisforEveryone - our first musical session with @_Tinderbox here at Liberton High School. @HolyRoodRCHigh pupils & others really enjoying the launch. Great poetry and music!

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

Thanks so much to @Holyroodsfl because not only have they made the librarian cupcakes.....they've made them with books on 👍😁📚. Have a fabulous reading half-term everyone @HolyRoodRCHigh. Keep well. Keep happy. Keep reading! (& baking cupcakes!)

[Holy Rood Library @Libraryholyrood]

Many thanks to @EdinRemakery for our Tech Donation Box situated in the Library @HolyRoodRCHigh This will make a huge difference to our ability to #wastelesslivemore. Thanks again!

So we have a new Book Group @HolyRoodRCHigh created with the aim of judging the 6 #YoungSciBooks. The first meeting was enthusiastic to say the least and we're really looking forward to reading the books that @royalsociety have gifted us. So many different subjects covered!
