Looking forward to welcoming Y7 to @poole_high on Friday. The library is all ready for the next cohort of readers, chess players, D&D players … see you soon!

Can’t wait to have this on our shelves. My proof copy didn’t have the gorgeous illustrations by @RobinsonKH but out students will get those in their full glory! Wonderful tale of loss and love, hope and hounds lovingly woven by @anthony_mcgowan

Saw these three waving these today, and overheard: this is why I love this school. It just accepts everything and is always a safe space for us. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride2022

@Jmosley_history @DrLindseyFitz @CVHISTORYFEST @amy_historia @Poolehigh It was! I check books for age-appropriateness, and said to him: Hmm, did Mr Mosley recommend this? He beamed at me and nodded! Good work. 👏🏻

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

@Jmosley_history @DrLindseyFitz @CVHISTORYFEST @amy_historia @Poolehigh How amazing! Having seen your impact this week, with a Y8 reading a book about the history of medicine (I recommended ‘Perfume’ next!), I know what a role model you are! Thank you.

@WHusseyAuthor peaking through there having just been returned … was borrowed moments later! @simonjamesgreen ‘s Gay Club out on loan literally moments after being delivered by the postman!

We have such a HUGE range of diverse reads at @TheLibraryPool1 that’s it’s hard to choose a few for a front desk display, but here’s this week’s … Happy Pride 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ to all of our LGBTQA+ staff & students & their allies and families.

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

We’d love you to vote for @TheLibraryPool1 to win 1000 of books!

Voting is very easy! 🙏 thank you.

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

We hope our lovely librarian Mrs Jarrad had a good house moving day! The front desk display looked great in the sunshine today: ‘it’s got a yellow cover’, and as ever, the YA section was very busy!

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

@QueerLitUK We’d love them at @TheLibraryPool1 ! We have 🌈 stickers on LGBTQA+ books throughout the library, and a huge Queer Lit display. They’d feel right at home!

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

Oh my goodness! We are going to have some VERY happy students. We can’t keep @AliceOseman ‘s book series on the shelves.

[Netflix @netflix]

Get ready to fall in love.

At long last you can finally watch the teaser trailer for Heartstopper, an eight chapter story, premiering.... April 22!!!

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

Would love these to gift to a primary in our feeder system. Making connections all the time with our future readers.

Thank you @LongfleetSchool for allowing us to visit you on #WorldBookDay I can’t wait to read the Y6 book reviews, and hope the competition winners enjoy their reading goody bags! #RfP #WeAreReaders @poole_high

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

Forgot to grab a picture but loving the library displays today: our 🌼 daffodil-hued books are advertising themselves and the start of spring! Popular choices today were @bbalston ‘s Amari and @Kiran_MH ‘s The Girl of Ink and Stars (the latter on the spring display stand).

Tomorrow’s Y9 reading assembly - the richness and diversity of YA and how it supports reading for pleasure whilst developing a wider understanding of the world. Extract from @WHusseyAuthor @poole_high reads.

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

Reading is proven to support children’s mental health. We have 7000 fiction books under our roof for our young people. And we’re always here for them too. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek @poole_high

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

We just like happy readers! There are nearly 7000 fiction books in our stacks; we encourage you to abandon ANY book that doesn’t interest, engage or entertain you - there’s another waiting that’s just perfect we’re sure.

And another.

And another.

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

Well! We love books but, without criticising these books, would also invite you to explore reading for pleasure at @poole_high where we offer nearly 7000 fab fiction books, inc. our very popular YA or diversity sections, or how about graphic novels or manga? So many options!

[The Library @ Poole High @TheLibraryPool1]

Well, Manga Week is going well! Despite buying in lots of brand new titles, our selection is almost depleted. What a popular genre! Some great resources are there for students too, inc. how to draw Manga characters.

Our library staff are fab! #readingisreading #goinggoinggone
