NOVEMBER 2013 – NEWSLETTER UPDATE!
A quick update to the Library News this month to let everyone know that the search for Pupil Librarians
is finally over!
I had a huge response and I am so pleased at the amount of children interested in the Library and
becoming a helper. It’s always tough deciding who to interview and then choosing the successful
candidates.
There was actually a very high standard of applicants so it was tough competition for everyone that
was interested.
Thank you to Mr Odgers and Miss Morris for helping out on interview day and well done to everyone
that held their nerves through their meeting – you all did incredibly well and should be very proud of
yourselves indeed.
However, just like any interview, not everyone can get the job so to those that didn’t make it this time,
please remember to re-apply next term, still come and visit the Library as much as you can and keep
your eyes open for future events and activities that you may like to be involved in.
To those that were successful, I am looking forward to getting to know you all better and helping you
learn about the Library while we make changes together for the benefit of everyone.
So for those that don’t yet know, the 10 Pupil Librarians are:
From Year 5, Lottie Chapman & Macy-Jane Mold
From Year 6, Zoe Langford & Emilie-Min Davy
From Year 7, Andrew Aldis & Chloe Ainger
From Year 8, Amy Lambert, Imogen Dickerson, Kane Good & Joe Powell.
Well done everyone!
So to the users of the Library, you will see these people at lunch and break from now on, wearing their
Library Assistant badge (proudly, I hope!), checking your books in and out, keeping the Library tidy and
being available to help you wherever they can.
The Pupil Librarians will treat you with respect and kindness and I expect them to be treated the same
way in return.
I have said it before and now they are all ‘official’ helpers, I will remind everyone again that should a
Pupil Librarian ask you to do something, be it changing over on the computers, pushing your chair
back in, tidying something away or following the Library rules, then you will do as they ask just like you
would if I asked you myself.
The Library is a cheerful, friendly place for everyone to enjoy – and I expect the same level of respect
and kindness from Pupil Librarians as I do from all of you when visiting the Library.
So thank you again to everyone that applied and I hope you will all support the Pupil Librarians while
they learn all about their new responsibilities.
