Library News

Latest from the Library

Welcome back to another school year, we are looking forward to seeing lots of students in the Library.

A reminder about our hours. We are open before school from 8.30 and after school until 4 o’clock. We are closed at recess and the first 20 minutes of lunch but open for the last 40 minutes of lunchtimes. Students can come in at these times to read magazines and books, borrow, play board games and cards, print out work or use the computers for school work.

Any students who borrowed books to use over the holidays, please return these now. If you need to reborrow them, just come and see us. Students can borrow up to four books at a time (this includes class set novels) for two weeks at a time as long as they have no overdues. If books become overdue, there is a list which goes out to Homegroups each week as a reminder. The books in our school ebook library  are handy – they return themselves automatically! Year 7 students will be given information about how to access ebooks during an orientation session .

You can access the library catalogue, our ebook library, World Book encyclopedia and many other resources via our webpage which you can access via the tab on the school’s intranet page.

All Year 7 students should be having a Library orientation session with their English class in the next couple of weeks, and have a chance to borrow as well. They will, in a later session, be introduced to the Library webpage and our ebook process.

Don’t forget – RAPS is now three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) so make sure you have a book to read.  We have lots of fantastic titles in the Library for you to borrow, and we’ll be getting lots of new one in during the year!

Happy reading :)
