Top 30 Reads: Balfron
Pupils
This is a list of
the top 30 titles which have been most-borrowed by our S1-3 pupils,
between January 2006 and January 2007. Many of them are written by
authors whom our pupils have been able to hear and meet during events
arranged in the last year by the librarians, such as author visits
(Keith Gray, Catherine MacPhail), attending the Edinburgh Book Festival
(Geraldine McCaughrean, Bernard Ashley), or whose writings they've been
able to encounter and review through the Carnegie Award Shadowing Scheme
or the Royal Mail Book Award Scheme (Catherine Forde, Catherine MacPhail),
which is run by library staff during the spring and summer term for S1-4
pupils.
