Does anyone have any recent copies of Golf magazine that they would like to donate to the school library rather than recycle them? Our students are very keen to read and enjoy them once you are finished 😊

Our beloved Horace (plant not skeleton) is feeling rather cramped these days and needs a new home. He is keen to stay within education so the library is going to take him in. He is in desperate need of a new pot however. Does anyone have a BIG pot lying around that they no longer need? His current pot is 38cm tall and 45/45cm wide we are on the search for something bigger. Thank you in advance for any help you can give 🌿🪴😊

Dornoch Academy Library is asking you to please look through your books and see if you have any library stock mixed in. We are missing large quantities of books, mostly lent but not returned. Some have been loaned out for over a year. There is no penalty for late books, we would just really appreciate their return. Thank you so much in advance ☺️

We are so overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of our local community. Over half the books on our wishlist have been gifted to us so far!

We are very excited to have some new stock arrive for our reference section! Huge thanks again to Dornoch Co-op for the funding without which this would not be possible.
As you can see it’s just a drop in the ocean. Our reference section is in desperate need of updating. Most of our science and History books are 20+ years old. So with that in mind we have created a “Gift a book for Christmas” Amazon wish list. If you feel you can help us update and replenish our local school reference section please take a look at our wish list. Thank you so much
