Our Library

From Alice, Librarian

 In term 1,  all year levels will be familiarising themselves with the library. We will be learning how to care for books, how to search for books using the catalogue and some strategies for browsing. 

Prep-2 will have weekly sessions to enjoy some stories and all students will have a dedicated time to browse and borrow. Year 5 and 6 have the opportunity to join Library Squad, who keep the library looking amazing, help younger students during recess and steer reader advisory and promotions.  

Keeping students engaged with reading for pleasure has many educational, social, and health benefits. Fiction reading, in particular, has been linked with increased empathy, lower stress levels, better sleep, and higher well being. By providing regular borrowing sessions for all students we hope to remove the barriers to these wonderful benefits.
