Junior and Senior fiction

Classic fiction

Graphic Novels

Quick reads

Non fiction

Supported study guides

20 Chrome Books, available for classes to book

Comfortable seating and “reading den”

The library, and librarian, offers support to develop study and research skills – this is carried out in conjunction with classes and can also be offered as one-to-one support by request.

The library is attached to Biggar Public Library and we work regularly with staff to hold joint events and author visits.

Book of the Month

At least every month we will highlight a book available to borrow from our library – keep an eye out in the weekly Pupil Newsletter ‘library section’.

Reading School

We have recently been awarded Reading School accreditation and our pupils group, ably supported by some of our English teachers, will run a series of events over the school year, supported by our librarian, to raise the profile of the importance of reading literacy and the love of reading books.
