Well, that's my first week back almost finished. I thought someone was being really kind to me and had laid on nice fresh coffee this morning - until I realized that it was just the remains of yesterdays Head Teacher's meeting refreshments. Thanks and a PPP point each to Connor McLintock & Jamie McIver for helping me tidy up.
Quite a lot of this morning was taken up with arranging a Staff Reading Group meeting for next Friday - we will be discussing "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison (I guess I'd better read it soon!) - and I've put a note out for suggestions for next month's book.
Apart from normal admin stuff (why do I get THREE of Mr McIlvanney's English classes on a Friday?) I've also started to work on our Spring Read promotion. HOT NEWS - Catherine MacPhail (Nemesis, Roxy's Baby, Missing, etc) will be visiting us on 18th March to give a talk. Start saving up now if you want to buy one of her books so she can sign it for you!
Catch y'all next week....

Back at last!
Well, I'm just finding my feet again after being off for 5 weeks (including 2 for Christmas) after my hand operation. How can I forget so much in 5 weeks? And the work has really piled up - will take a bit of time to get straight. Nice how everyone's been pleased to see me back though.
The LRC is closed today because we've got the Head Teacher's meeting on today - all 9 heads from the 9 East Ayrshire Secondary schools. So, best behaviour! I'm off out this afternoon to the new Grange Academy to meet up with the other 8 School Librarians (well, 7 actually, because the Cumnock post is vacant at present) for our once - per - term meeting. Hopefully we'll be discussing the Spring Read promotion and find out which authors will be coming to talk to us.
A bit of a strange day today really, what with the LRC being closed, me being out in the afternoon, then early evening I'm off to Loudoun Academy for the S4 Parent's evening (I've two children in S4). Then later in the evening to Darvel Library for my monthly Book Group meeting (this month we've been reading No Time to Say Goodbye by Linwood Barclay - really good!)
So unfortunately I won't be able to attend this Evening's Burns Night Dinner - shame really, I would have liked that!
That's all for now folks, catch you later
