Library News

The past few weeks have been a vibrant time in both our Kildare and Brigidine Libraries, with colourful displays celebrating Library and Information Week, Visual Arts Week and Science Week. 

We’re also excited to showcase a range of new books in both libraries - from biographies to the latest fiction and graphic novels. It’s the perfect time to drop by and find your next great read! 

In the Brigidine Library, our new display trolley has been turning heads. It’s already hosted themed selections including Sporting Stories, Romance, Classics and New Arrivals, with more exciting subjects on the way. 

A quick reminder - it’s the final month of both the Premier’s Reading Challenge and Public Libraries Victoria’s Warm Winter Reads. Details on how to enter can be found on the Library Website. 

Both libraries have been buzzing at lunchtimes, filled with students studying, relaxing, and enjoying their favourite books and games. 

We’re also counting down to Book Week, with a special highlight open to staff and students.
