MS Student Library Committee: Student Voice in Action
Article by Paige Witcombe, Library Leader – Yirramboi Campus
At the start of Term 3, we invited students to join the Middle School Library Committee, and the response was fantastic! More than 40 enthusiastic students expressed interest in volunteering their time and ideas to help make our library an even more welcoming, engaging and inspiring place.
Committee members have been sharing what they love about the library and suggesting ways to make it even better. Their ideas are captured in the accompanying poster, featuring their thoughts and suggestions on Post-it notes. Together, they have brainstormed creative book displays and themed reading promotions, recommended new titles, designed book promotion posters and explored ways to support library operations at lunchtime, including borrowing, returns and shelving.
It has been wonderful to see students bringing their creativity, enthusiasm and initiative to the library, taking an active role in shaping a space that reflects their interests and belongs to them.We look forward to bringing more of their ideas to life throughout the remainder of this year and into 2027. A big thank you to our student volunteers for their enthusiasm, leadership and commitment to building a vibrant Middle School library community!
