Celebrating Irish literature for St Patrick's Day
Our young readers immersed themselves in all things Irish literature in the lead up to last week's St Patrick's Day!
Looks like they had a blast!
'Reading Without Boundaries' Challenge
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest initiative - the Harmony Week Reading Challenge titled 'Reading Without Boundaries'.
Designed to foster cultural awareness and empathy, this Challenge encourages students to explore literature outside their comfort zone.
Here are the instructions for the Challenge:
New bilingual books
In addition to our 'Reading Without Boundaries' Challenge, we're excited to announce that we've acquired new bilingual books, with more on the way.
These books aim to further enrich our collection and provide opportunities for language exploration and cultural appreciation.
Picture book recommendations
The McKie Library team have curated some reading lists on our catalogue to help you choose books. Here is a link to our Picture Book recommendations.
Audiobooks
Are you curious about audiobooks? Discover the convenience and enjoyment of listening to stories on-the-go. Audiobooks offer a unique storytelling experience, perfect for that long car journey or overseas trip.
Ask our friendly staff for student recommendations or tips on getting started with audiobooks using our Wheelers ePlatform app.
K-Zone - primary school magazine
K-Zone has just landed. It's the number one magazine for primary school students. It’s jam-packed with fun information, including movie news, gaming gossip, comics and stacks of puzzles, quizzes, activities and posters.
Drop into the McKie Library to browse our latest selection of magazines.
Years 3 and 4 Book Club
The Years 3 and 4 Book Club members have been super busy creating book reviews and bookmarks and designing new book covers.
The McKie Library is always a hive of activity when our book clubbers are in residence. New members are always welcome.
Looking forward to seeing you in the McKie Library soon!
