LNPS Playgroup

Lauren Robertson is our fantastic Playgroup Coordinator and she has some amazing things planned for our Tuesday Playgroups this term. 

Every Tuesday we hold our LNPS Playgroup. Come along with your birth to 4-year-olds between 1:30 and 3:00 pm in our LNPS library for some connection-building, playtime and interactive learning. 

Borrowing

Reception -  Can borrow 4 books

Years 1, 2, 3, 4 - Can borrow 8 books

Years 5 and 6 - Can borrow 10 books

Books can be kept for a maximum of 2 weeks. All that is required for borrowing is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1/2) and no overdue books. Students are encouraged to manage their own library bags and to borrow regularly.

Returns

Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box or directly into the green returns box in Tirkandi. Only staff is allowed to return books and use the returns computer. If damaged once returned place the book in the Book Doctor box for repairs.

Library Computer Borrowing

Library computer borrowing is only for year 3s to year 6s. 8:40 - 8:50 is library borrowing time. Computer borrowing is for students who have damaged computers or have forgotten their computersthat day. When borrowing your name, class and the computer's barcode will get recorded and then students must borrow that computer under their name. At the end of the day, all library-borrowed computers must be returned to the library. If a student forgets to return their computer 3 times, then they will not be able to borrow for 3 days. If it happens again the number of days will increase.

These computers are second-hand computers, they will be slower and some keys will be tricky to press down; but please let Teachers, IT or Gena (Librarian) know if the computer has bigger damages.

Overdue, Lost or Damaged Books

The school library policy for overdue, lost or damaged books is as follows. For a library book that has been overdue / lost for 2 weeks or more or returned damaged, there will be a fee of $15. However, if the book is found or returned you will be reimbursed the full amount. Students will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the payment is made. The money goes towards replacing that book.
