Librarians/ Redhill Readhing Ambassadors

Our Redhill Library is a shared space where everyone is welcome to come and visit and choose something to read!

 

Each pupil regularly selects a library book to keep in their tray. There is a good selection  including graphic novels, non-fiction, poetry, picture books and stories. Each class has a slot to visit the library every week to change books and to have shared reading time. 

 

We have 14 very passionate School Librarians ; they will be happy to help you find the book you are looking for or give you a recommendation! They also play an active part in reading events such as World Book Day and Harry Potter Book Night - they plan and lead assemblies and read to the younger classes. 

Librarian Duties

The Redhill librarians will:

  • empty the book return box
  • Tidy the Home Reader trolleys
  • check for damaged books
  • tidy up the room
  • create displays and put out books for others to look at
  • enjoy a book!
