HELPERS NEEDED

 

The Library would like help from any parents who can be available from 8.40am Monday to Thursday to help shelve books. 

 

If you can spare approximately 30 minutes once a week, please come and see me in the library – No experience necessary, however volunteers must have a current “Working with Children” card.  (Pre-schoolers welcome).  Your help will be greatly appreciated.

 

I would also like to remind parents and carers of the rules related to library borrowing.

  • Children in years P-3 are required to have a library bag when they come to the library.
  • Students may borrow up to  may borrow up to 5 books per session.
  • Please keep drink bottles on the outside pocket of the school bags.
  • All books are borrowed out for a period of two weeks.  If your child needs more time, they may re-borrow the book.
  • Books are to be returned to the library trolley in your child’s grade, first thing in the morning.
  • The Library is open 8.30am - 3.30 pm Monday to Thursday, so students can visit just before and after school.

 Please encourage your children to make use of the wonderful resources provided by the school.
