Library Corner
Welcome to the GEC Library for 2024. We would like to extend a warm welcome to the library to our new students and the Year 7 students of 2024. Congratulations to Beth, Angus, Keiran and Zoe, our 2024 Library Captains!

Book Club
We look forward to Book Club in 2024! We’d love to see more members join Book Club this year. Students can come see us in the library if they’d like to join. Book Club runs at lunch time every fortnight on Wednesdays on the blue timetable week.
Library Lovers’ Day
On 14th February, libraries around Australia celebrate Library Lovers’ Day. This is a day to celebrate all that libraries do for the community. Students can enjoy a ‘Blind Date with a Book’ and other activities at lunchtime.
Australian Children’s Laureate

Book Review
‘The carpet people’ by Terry Pratchett is a gripping novel that follows tiny people who try to go about their lives. However, their lives are shattered as the wild unpredictable force known as ‘fray’ wreaks havoc. This book follows the rise of the power hungry mouls, snargs and two brothers. A vast amount of humour among more serious topics of war and religion.
