Term 2 Week 1
May the 4th be with you
For all the Star Wars fans out there a display was put up in the Morphett library on Tuesday week 2 this term to celebrate May the 4th or 'May the force' day here at LNPS. A Stars book display was set up for students to enjoy!
New Books!
We have some new books in our library for early years and primary students to enjoy! These books can now be borrowed by students.
Scholastic Book Club Orders
Book Club orders for Issue 2 are on their way! Students will be receiving their orders sometime this week.
2021 Library Changes
Please note which collections are in each building this year while Mellor classes occupy the Tirkandi building:
Tirkandi Library
- Picture books
- Non-fiction books
Morphett Primary Library

Premier's Reading Challenge
The Premier's Reading Challenge requires students from all year levels to read 12 books from the PRC booklist. Remember to check stickers on our library books to ensure students are reading at the appropriate level.
Completed forms can be handed into the Tirkandi library.
Borrow
Reception - Can borrow 4 books
Years 1, 2, 3, 4 - Can borrow 8 books
Years 5, 6, 7 - Can borrow 10 books
Parents – Can borrow up to 10 books
Books can be kept for a maximum of 2 weeks. All that is required for borrowing is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1/2) and no overdue books. Students are encouraged to manage their own library bag and to borrow regularly.
Overdue, Lost or Damaged Books
The School Library policy for overdue, lost or damaged books has been updated. A library book that has been overdue / lost for 2 weeks or more or damaged, there will now be a fee of $15; However if the book is ever found or returned you will be reimbursed the full amount. Students will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the payment is made.
The money goes towards replacing that book so your child and other students can have access to reading books they love!
Any questions or queries on this please feel free to ask!
Return
Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box, directly into the green returns box in the Tirkandi library or the clear tubs at the borrowing station in the Morphett Primary Library. I kindly ask that students return books to the building they borrowed it from as this will significantly help to reduce movement between the two buildings.
