Library

Handbury and Winifred Berry Libraries

Year 8 2019 – free Book-listed title offer:

English and EAL have By the River by Steven Herrick listed as a necessary title. We have about 20 copies available from our past text-book system which are in good to very good condition. First in will get the best choice!

Holiday borrowing:

Senior School students with no overdue books are welcome to borrow over the holidays. We haven’t done this at the Junior School previously and this year we won’t be able to because of the Library relocation. I would be interested in hearing from parents whether holiday borrowing for Prep-6 would be a good idea, or cause concern.

Books that are overdue and do not return by the end of school will be charged at cost price on Term 4 accounts. This is to enable continuity of a large and vibrant selection of books on both sites.

Books can be returned to both library branches in a variety of ways other than having access to the rooms – hand them to the reception front desk, give them to a teacher, put them through the external slot at the Senior School, or to me in person. I have taken the trolley to Senior School locker rooms once already and will visit them again, as well as Junior.
