Library 2026

Our SJV library is full to the brim with great titles! The students can't wait to get into the library to borrow.

Book Club:

Book club orders will be delivered to school soon and will be distributed to you child. It's always a pleasure to see the excited look on students' faces when they receive their books!

Please remind your child to bring a named cloth bag to school. Students will only be able to borrow if they have a bag. Library bags identify the borrower and help keep our books clean, dry and protected as they travel to and from school.

Borrowing will begin as soon as classes can commence in the library. The building works are well underway, so library use is expected to start shortly.

Borrowing Guidelines:

Prep students - 2 picture or non-fiction books
Yr 1/2 students - 2 picture, non-fiction or short chapter books
Yr 3/4 students - up to 3 books of choice
Yr 5/6 students - up to 3 books of choice

Books are exchanged weekly/fortnightly. Lengthy books may be kept for a longer period of time.

Assistance with book covering means new titles reach the shelves faster. Volunteers are always wolcome, contact will be supplied and this can be done at home. Please pop into the library on a Wednesday/Thursday or email me if you are able to assist.

Please enjoy sharing books with your child/ren, whether it’s reading to/with them or simply having a chat about what they’re reading. Encourage your child to read for enjoyment and remind them that the more they read, the more they’ll know and the more their reading confidence and competency will grow.

HAPPY READING
