6. Dear Miss McEachern We thank you for coming to our library and are very grateful that you came on such short notice. Our library is, thanks to you, open for pupils to borrow books. We have all the books on the right shelves with the right stickers on the spines. The only problem is we are not trained properly! We hope you can come and train us further on how to run a library. We also need help setting out the non-fiction in the library and we need the help of an experienced librarian. We really need your help to teach us how to be a good librarian! Thank you for all your help, From the Kirkhill Librarians.

7. Dear Kirkhill Librarians Thank you so much for your lovely letter. I thoroughly enjoyed coming to Kirkhill to help you sort out your library – I only wish that I could have stayed longer! I am so glad that you have got all your fiction books arranged on the correct shelf with stickers on the spines – it sounds like you have made great progress so far. I would be delighted to come back to Kirkhill to help you sort out your non-fiction books and help train you further. I think you are fantastic librarians already with all your hard work and enthusiasm! Mrs Menzies and I will arrange a date and I look forward to coming back to Kirkhill to work with you all again. Meanwhile, have a great Christmas and I hope Santa is good to you and brings you lots of great books to read! Best wishes, Miss McEachern. School Librarian.
