New Books in the Library

A delightful bedtime story and a classic-in-the-making from award-winning creators Meg McKinlay and Karen Blair.Meg McKinlay and Karen Blair celebrate the bonding rituals of bedtime with this delightful story. A sloshy bath, soft pyjamas, finding teddy, a song for singing, a huggily hug and most importantly a story!

Twins Page and Turner know about the magic a library holds - they've been going to their beloved New York City public library for years, especially since their parents are always traveling for work.

But a secret mission involving their dad's rare and valuable edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula uncovers a world they've never known, featuring a mysterious Night Librarian, famous heroes (and villains) that have broken free from classic books, and an epic battle to save the library from total                                           destruction.

What happens in the animal kingdom when the moon is out? There are the Party Animals who love to get festive and make lots of noise. Watch out for the Biters and Bloodsuckers, Nimble night-time Ninjas and Prickly Personalities... you might also want to avoid the Slimeballs and Slippery Characters. These are just a few of the quirky groupings artist Tai Snaith uses to categorise her favourite animals from around the world. Discover the habits, traits and fantastic features of over 200 night-time creatures. Including facts and information about the curious nocturnal animals found inside, Wonders Under the Moon is a delightfully illustrated field guide for all the aspiring explorers, artists, environmentalists and taxonomists.

These books and many more are available to borrow from the Library. 

Premier's Reading Challenge

The Premier's Reading Challenge is under way! 

Every student who signs up to the challenge will receive their own personalised car and will move their car around the track with every book they read. This allows the students to track their progress and see how far they have to go to complete the challenge.

Don't forget, every student in Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 will automatically be signed up to the challenge. The books read to these students during class and library will make up the 30 books needed.

Students in Years 3-6 will need to see Mrs Simmons in the Library to sign up and receive their login details. 

PLEASE NOTE! Any books read after the challenge closed last year, will count towards this years challenge. These books can be either Library books or books from home.
