Mrs Robinson has been back in school working over the Easter Holidays! She is not completely better yet, but is hoping that she will be able to return next term working part-time for the next few weeks.

You will be able to see some of the things she has been doing when you come into the Library. To help you find books more easily, she has been making new shelf labels:

Fiction Shelf Labels

Non-fiction Shelf Labels

Mrs Robinson is looking forward to seeing everyone at The Dixie Grammar School in the Summer Term!

Sorry folks!

Sorry that this site has not been updated for some time. Mrs Robinson, the Librarian, is off work due to a serious illness at the moment. As soon as she is back, she will add some new posts and material to the site.

Countdown to opening – Part 8

Well, we were ready to open and the new chairs arrived, so everything was great. Then we realised that the chairs did not fit properly under the tables – so we borrowed some from the hall! Anyway, watch out for the announcement…….

Opening very soon!

We have reached another great milestone!

All of the boxes of books from the old library have now been unpacked on to the new shelving. Also, loads of new Fiction has been added. Have a look at the pictures below and also at the slideshow lower down this page for the latest photos!

Don’t these look great! Mrs Robinson and the rest of the Library Committee are working hard to get the new Library open as soon as possible – it won’t be long.

By the way – thanks for the speedy shelving are due to Mrs Robinson’s sons, Luke and Mark, who came in to help during the summer holidays and also in the last couple of weeks!
