Resource Centre
A big hello from the Resource Centre!
We have missed you during this time.
Remember we are always in the Resource Centre to help you:
- find that book you never thought you needed or wanted to read.
- a place to get your study done
- a place to discover and develop your current or a new interest or hobby
- a space where you can catch up up with your friends
Here in the Library reading for pleasure is very important. Our hope is that everyone has found a way to get access to their reading material, whether it be print materials from our shelves, online through our wheelers platform (Secondary) or the Epic app and PM e-collection.
Also remember that our local library has access to platforms that allow you to access a variety of online materials at this time.

MAG’s Reading Challenge
Moama Anglican Grammar’s Reading Challenge has been designed to encourage students to select books they may not usually read and use different characteristics of books to make their choice.
Students can collect the checklists from the library staff.
The categories students can use to find books for this newsletter are:
- A recommendation from a friend
- An e-book (from any platform or app)
- A book that makes you laugh
As students read books from five or ten different categories encourage them to come in to see one of the Library Staff to have it marked off.

ANZAC
Free resources:
I would like to take the time to thank the Murray River Council for the donation of two books to add to our ANZAC Day collection:

Over the past few weeks, some of our helpful years 3-6 students have assisted to put together and ANZAC Day display in the library. Focusing on the symbols and traditions of ANZAC Day.
