Free Reading Packs for Kindergarten Students from Swan Libraries

Swan Libraries’ staff visited our school this week to bring every Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten student their very own green Better Beginnings Book Pack.  St Helena’s families may remember receiving a yellow Better Beginnings pack from your child health nurse when your child was a baby?  Our Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten children each  received a Better Beginnings green or orange reading pack from Ellenbrook Community Library.  

Did you know that joining the local library is free! There is a wide range of books, digital magazines, audiobooks and streaming movies that you and your children can borrow.  The libraries run free activities for babies and toddlers, and primary school aged children throughout the year, even during the school holidays.  By joining the library, you’re helping your children develop good reading and study habits which will see them well into their future studies.

Becoming a member is easy.  Visit Ellenbrook Community Library conveniently located at 90 Main Street, Ellenbrook and bring some identification which shows your name and current address or go to Swan Libraries at https://www.swan.wa.gov.au/Your-Services/Libraries/Library-membership to join and immediately be able to use the library’s digital resources.  The libraries are on Facebook, too, visit @SwanLibraries or @SwanLibraryCommunity.
