🔄 Term 2 Is Ending – Read, Return, Repeat!

As Term 2 wraps up, it’s the perfect time to organise your holiday reading! 

📌 Have overdue books? Make sure to return or renew them before term ends. 🔒 Remember: Overdue books = no borrowing (this includes laptops!). 

✅ Check your due dates: • Look inside the back cover of your book • Or log in to the HC Library Portal 

 

Returning on time helps keep our shelves full and our stories flowing! 

 

Silent Reading Sessions – Starting Term 3 

Lunchtimes in the library can get chatty, so we’re trialling Silent Reading Thursdays starting in Term 3. Open to Students and Staff. 📅 Wander in after 1pm every Thursday – Eat your lunch prior to coming to the library (no food allowed). 

📍 No laptops. No talking. Just quiet reading. 

If that sounds like your ideal lunchtime, we’d love to see you there.
