AND REACHER SAID

If you like a good thriller you should read a Jack Reacher book. Lee Child is the author of this phenomenally successful series that features Jack Reacher a 6’5” former MP as its central character. Tom Cruise loved the books so much he bought the movie rights for the entire series. Author Lee Child receives a $20 million advance from his publishers for each novel (he says he will only write 22). The novels would appeal to upper secondary school students looking for a “I couldn’t put it down” thriller.

IT’S ALL ABOUT HOGWARTS 20TH ANNIVERSARY

It was 20 years ago that Harry Potter first appeared.  We have the books in English, German, French and Chinese (Ha Li Bo Te).  If you haven’t read any Harry Potter books, it’s not too late!

LIBRARY LOANS

The current loan period for most items is four weeks. Many items borrowed during the school holidays will become due on the first day back of Term 4. If you have not finished with your books go online to renew for another four weeks. This must be done prior to the item becoming overdue.  If a book or item you want is on loan you can also reserve it on line.  (Books currently listed as available cannot be reserved).
