BORROWING SESSIONS

We have been so busy in the Library! Students are learning the various sections of the library and borrowing books of interest and of a ‘good fit’.  Senior students are learning to access our library website and login using their 3 letter/4 number Cases code to reserve books, create reading lists and view their current loans.

I have noticed many students choosing to ‘read-to-self’ in our new ‘Dreaming with eyes open’ area.  In here they can use cushions, relax quietly and read the book they have selected before borrowing it to take home/back to class book boxes.  I could not be happier with student engagement across the whole school.  These sessions have been extended to 50 minutes every fortnight and the benefits are already noticeable.  My challenge is to assist every student find something wonderful to read, whether that be a 400 page fiction novel or a magazine with snippets of information—any reading is beneficial in a myriad of ways.  If parents or carers have any questions or feedback the Library door is always open or email Kate.Mowat@education.vic.gov.au.

THRIVE LIBRARY

Parents/caregivers are welcome to borrow under their child’s name from our THRIVE family library which     includes a range of parenting and wellbeing titles.  Let their teacher know and we can make a time for you to come in and browse.

Keep up the great work at Library everyone.
