Book award season

If you are looking for some great reading now or over the break, take a look at the Children's Book of the Year Award(CBCA)  shortlist https://cbca.org.au/shortlist-2024  or the Australian Publishers Association Book of the Year.https://abiawards.com.au/2024-shortlist-announcement/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=sm&utm_campaign=2024+Shortlist

Most of the CBCA titles are now available for students to borrow. 

Reader's Challenge launched at Delahey

Year 11 and 12 students who enjoy reading are encouraged to join the Delahey challenge. Five books that are chosen, read and verified with Library staff entitle the student to join a Pizza lunch during Book week-usually the 3rd week of August.. This is a nice follow up to the Premiers' Reading Challenge that is undertaken by Years 7-10.

Congratulations to Jenny Bui from Year 11 who won our Highpoint voucher for the Ebook competition. All students who entered received a sweet reward.

It must be the season for aspiring writers young and old. Dymocks is currently promoting their  creative story competition and Melton Libraries have opened their writer's short story competition. Why not have a go with your story? Dymocks Beyond Words and Melton short story
