Shelf Help

East Dunbartonshire Council secondary school libraries have recently introduced Shelf Help – a collection of books to remind you that you are not alone.

The school library offers:

The Shelf Help book collection – a range of non-fiction books on a range of topics including how to maintain good mental health and cope with stress
Fiction books about characters who may be going through similar experiences to you, your family or your friends
Reading lists which suggest suitable fiction and non-fiction books which may be helpful
The opportunity to recommend books which have helped you
A safe space with a qualified librarian
Advice on where to seek help if you need it.

If you have any questions about Shelf Help please ask Miss Don, our librarian.

This project is supported by the Scottish Government Library Improvement Fund which is administered by the Scottish Library and Information Council.

The book that saved my life: Pupils and staff were invited to submit entries for possible publication in a booklet ‘The Book That Saved My Life’. Entrants were asked to write a short piece on a book which has had an impact on them. From the many entries, eight from each secondary school were selected to be in the booklet. This will be launched across East Dunbartonshire secondary school libraries as part of Book Week Scotland in November 2018.
Reading Lists: Reading lists suggesting suitable books, all of which are available in the school library, will be available in the near future.
