Sadly I'm signing off from my role as Librarian @foresthillschool.bsky.social 👋
...I'm moving on, leaving the library in the capable hands of my successor and have left lots of great books on display, ready for the new term:
School Stories with a wide genre range, new fiction and new non-fiction 😀

Some of our pupils giving donations to Book Aid International brought us close to tears, but good happy tears!
We explained why and what they do in library lessons and we hold a secondhand book sale every year around WBD to raise funds for them
