New Arrivals
A big thank you to families who support our book clubs throughout the year.
This term we have been able to use the rewards to replace some books that have been a well loved part of our collection since being added to our shelves many years ago:
- Where’s Wally
- Raina Telgemeier set of graphic novels
- King Pig
We have also added a graphic novel set for our younger readers:
- The babysitters little sister club
Upcoming Event
We will be holding our Simultaneous Storytime on May 25 in the hall at 11:25am.
Secondary Books Clubs
One of our Year 12 students is currently working on developing two secondary book clubs. I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out over the next few months.
We are also looking for volunteers from the secondary school.
The students have already selected different events they want to be part of organising such as Book Week (August), Simultaneous Read (May). They have also placed their name against some Books/activities as part of the new ‘read and do’ club that we are offering to students in the Primary school. The first one will be run over the last 4 weeks of this term for Years 3 and 4. The leaders (myself for this one) will read books to Years 3 and 4 we will then spend the 4 weeks creating an artwork. The activities the students are running will be extremely exciting.
Primary Lego and Coding Clubs
We are also looking for secondary students to run a primary lego and/or coding during lunchtime, days and terms are negotiable.
Currently a Year 6 team of students are sorting our lego collection so we have lego kits for students to use in our Lego club.

Borrowing and Returns
Students may borrow and return books before school, recess, lunch time and after school. Primary School students also have the chance to borrow books during their fortnightly Library lessons.
Renewals
Students are able to re-borrow books for an additional two weeks by speaking to staff at the Library Circulation Desk. If further borrowing is requested after this, students are required to bring their book with them to allow the staff to sight the book. In addition, students can renew their book/s by emailing the Library.
Requests
If your child would like to borrow a specific book and the title is not included in our current catalogue, we will add this to our purchase wish-list.

If you receive an overdue notice there is a chance that the books may been processed through our system after the email was sent, so we encourage all parents to follow up any issues by emailing the Resource Centre at library@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au
