Loving, colourful home to 4000+ fiction books & IT suite. Open 7.30am-4.15pm to all staff and students; warm welcome guaranteed. Please recommend/request books.
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. 👏🏻
@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.
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!
@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!
It's our last day of giveaways for #WorldBookDay and to round it off, we're giving you the chance to win a class set of the #Supertato The Great Eggscape! by @suehendra and @PaulLinnet

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.
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
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.
Tag urself if you're a "fake" reader/writer...this was apparently given to an 11yo? Silly ableist infographic, bookdom is for everyone, and I literally can't ever sit still everrrrrrrr so 💃🏻
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!
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
