Stage 1 has had a phenomenal year of borrowing, and it’s such a pleasure to see their excitement as they explore the library’s diverse collection. Many students have started exploring our non-fiction section, brushing up their knowledge on various topics, or diving into our extensive collection of chapter books. Of course, a lot of Stage 1 students are thrilled to browse through our expansive graphic novel section, which they are experiencing for the first time.
When I announce "It’s borrowing time," it’s always heartwarming to see their enthusiasm as they rush to discover new stories and adventures. Well done, Stage 1—you’ve had a truly outstanding year!
Library Notices
As we approach the end of the year, you may have received a library notice regarding overdue books. As always, we kindly ask for your help in locating these books. We would much prefer to have the books returned to the library collection than replace them.
I’ve been encouraging students to have a thorough search around their homes:
- Under beds
- In closets
- Beneath couches
- Inside toy chests
- Or any other “hiding spots” where books might go missing!
If you believe the book has already been returned to school, simply write a response on the library notice and have your child bring it to Mr. Matthews in the library. It’s possible the book wasn’t scanned properly on return or has been left in a classroom by mistake. We’ll do our best to locate it here at school.
Thank you for your support in ensuring our library collection remains complete.
Warm regards,
The Library Team
