Overdue Library Books
Last week, notices were sent home with those students who have overdue library books, according to our library borrowing system.
With our library currently out of use due to it operating as a temporary classroom, it may be that your child has returned their book to school (their grade's library tub) but it hasn't yet been able to be returned to the library. If you received a notice for a book that your child has already brought back to school, we apologise for any confusion caused; please disregard the notice.
Thank you to those students who have already returned any borrowed books, and thank you to parents for assisting their child in being responsible for the library books they borrow.
Free Audiobook Downloads
Here are two free audiobooks for September, courtesy of ACLF and Bolinda Borrow Box:
"Little Fur"
Little Fur is very old, though she looks more like a four-year-old child. She is half elf and half troll, and she lives in her very own wilderness, a patch of park, within the city where the humans live. Little Fur is distressed by what the humans are doing to her patch of wilderness – they are burning trees – and she must go on a perilous journey to prevent her precious home from being destroyed. She enlists the help of her friends: Brownie the shaggy Shetland pony, Crow the crow and the Sett Owl. This is a story full of magic and wonder, of unforgettable characters and exciting adventures.
