Library News

Welcome back to another wonderful year of reading!

Many students have located their lost or missing library books over the holidays and have returned items to school. It is never too late to return them! If any student has outstanding loans, please write a quick note or come and see me as soon as possible. Student overdue lists were given to teachers this week. 

Please also have a look at home for any other resources borrowed from classroom libraries including year level readers. All school resources can be placed in the ‘Book Returns’ trolley in the 21st Century Learning Space – thank you.

Book bags . . .

I encourage all students to have a named library book bag. It’s a lot harder to lose your library books if they are kept in a named library bag. I have a few spare library bags if anyone would like one, please come and see me.  

BOOK DONATIONS

Thank you to three of our staff Aisha Hayes, Tracey Sheridan and Kim Brennan for your recent book donations. We now have an updated copy of the Guinness World Records 2023, lots of popular children’s novels and some copies of picture books by one of my favourite authors Oliver Jeffers. I’m sure they will be well received by our students. Thank you very much.

SCHOLASTIC AUSTRALIA BOOKCLUB

Welcome back to Book Club! Every student in the school should have received a copy of Scholastic Australia’s Book Club brochure Issue 1. There are eight Scholastic Book Clubs per year (two per term). Every dollar spent entitles the school to earn “Scholastic Reading Rewards” which are then redeemed to obtain books and resources for the school. Book Club orders are due by Monday 12th February, 2024. 

Please direct all Scholastic Book Club and any book or library related enquires to me during the following hours:

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 8.30am-3.30pm; 

Thursday and Friday 1.30pm-3.30pm
