New Arrivals

February Titles from Lamont Books

Other Purchases

These were purchased at the end of last year to replace missing books, complete series that we already had or just to add new titles to our collection.

 Resource Centre Committee

The Resource Centre Committee has a very active membership from Years 5/6 this year with the support of a few Year 7 students.  

We are also looking for volunteers from the secondary school. 

The students have already selected different events they want to be part of organising such as Book Week (August) and Simultaneous Read (May). They have also placed their name against some books/activities as part of the new read and do club that we are offering to students in the Primary School. The first one will be run over the last 4 weeks of this term for Years 3 and 4. The leaders will read books to Years 3 and 4 we will then spend the 4 weeks creating an artwork. The activities the students are running will be extremely exciting.

Primary Lego and Coding Club

We are also looking for secondary students to run primary  lego and/or coding activity during lunchtime - days and terms are negotiable. 

Library Lovers Day

February 14 saw a number of activities take place in the library:

1. The first 20 borrowers over the recess and lunch breaks received a goodies bag, with a couple of heart chocolates, a bookmark, and little hearts on toothpicks stood in magic clay. These were so popular that they disappeared in the first 10 minutes of recess.
2. We began “Our blind date with a book”. The Primary School books were all borrowed by Wednesday. We do still have a few Secondary aged books on the table.
3. During lunch time on Monday we invited students to the Resource Centre to create bookmarks of their own by colouring in a variety of templates. 

Thank you to all the students who supported this event and the activities.

Borrowing and Returns

Students may borrow and return books before school, recess, lunch time and after school. Primary School students also have the chance to borrow books during their fortnightly Library lessons. 

Renewals

Students are able to re-borrow books for an additional two weeks by speaking to staff at the Library Circulation Desk. If further borrowing is requested after this, students are required to bring their book with them to allow the staff to sight the book. In addition, students can renew their book/s by emailing the Library.

Requests

If your child would like to borrow a specific book and the title is not included in our current catalogue, we will add this to our purchase wishlist.

Overdue notices

If you receive an overdue notice there is a chance that the books may been processed through our system after the email was sent, so we encourage all parents to follow up any issues by emailing the Resource Centre at library@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au

If you have any other enquiries, issues or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us via phone by ringing the main office or via email address library@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au.
