International Games Week

It was International Games Week last week and on Thursday the library was declared a device free zone at lunch time. Instead the students were given the opportunity to play a range of board and card games. Lots of fun was had by all who came along, and the request was made to do it again. We are looking at doing it at least fortnightly and encourage students to request what games they would like included.

Book Tree

Come and see our ‘Book Tree’ and decorate it with a star to tell everyone what books you enjoyed reading in 2018.

Overdue Books

Students in Years 7 to 11 should have received an email if they have overdue Library books. Please return any overdue library books before the end of the school year.

Holiday Reading

Borrowing will be available to students over the Christmas Holidays as long as they have no overdue library books. We will give you a list of what you have borrowed so you can keep track of you books and they will be due on you return to school in 2019.

Don’t forget about the eBooks and audio books we have available. Instructions for their use is available on the Library Frog page or come and see the library staff and we will be happy to help you access them.

Christmas Giving

Some children and teenagers don’t have access to great books due to disadvantage or homelessness. This Christmas let’s help a child get their own book for Christmas.

1. Bring in a new or ‘gently used’ second hand (It needs to look as good as new) book that you would like to be given.
2. Wrap the book in Christmas wrap, or bring it to school and wrap it in the library (we will have all you need to do so here).
3. Complete a label indicating if it is for a boy or a girl, what age and either from your first name or ‘a friend’ ( we will have labels here in the library to use).
4. Place the wrapped and labelled book into one of the ‘Christmas boxes around our ‘Book Tree’. We will arrange for them to be given out.

Don’t forget the Library is open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday for study, reading or a catch up with friends.
