Keep reading throughout the holidays
Staff and students of the College: Happy holiday reading!
Keep reading
You can continue to use our library throughout the summer by borrowing eBooks and audiobooks from the Sora library app or the EDSC Library website.
Sora allows all of EDSC’s eBooks and audiobooks to be accessed on devices anytime, anywhere, so it’s perfect for holiday reading. Instructions on how to use Sora are available on our Library website.
Keep a list
Make sure to start a list of all the books you read from New Year’s Day, as next year the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge at EDSC starts on January 1st.
Keep the book requests coming
If we don’t have it, we will buy it! Suggest a library book to be ordered by filling out our book request form. You’ll be the first person to borrow the book in Term 1.
Have a great break and we look forward to seeing you in the Library next year.

2023 Booklist Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Campion?
Campion is a third party company that EDSC uses to administer our booklist and supply new books to students.
Do I have to buy everything on the list?
You need to buy everything listed for the subjects your student is enrolled in. However, general stationery items such as pens and rulers do not need to be purchased from Campion if you already own these items or can source them elsewhere.
Do I have to buy books through Campion, or can I buy second-hand books elsewhere?
You don’t have to buy the books through Campion. However, there is a risk of buying incorrect editions of textbooks from other parties, as textbooks are revised regularly. If you’d like to buy second-hand books, we recommend buying them through the Sustainable School Shop. This company has been supplied with the EDSC booklist and can help ensure you buy the correct editions.
If you buy a second hand book, you should also check whether you need to purchase a digital code to access any extra online resources required.
Why am I charged $15.95 at the end of my order?
Campion charges a $5.95 processing fee for all orders. Orders will also be charged a $10 home delivery fee as due to COVID-19, school delivery and pick-up is unable to take place. However, you may be able to organise order pick-up from Campion by contacting Campion directly.
Do we have to bring all the books in on the first day of school?
No, you can stagger what you bring in to make it easier. You will get information about what is needed on day one.
