Library Corner

The mid semester holidays were a welcome break for our student community, many of whom sat exams and SACs.  Students were encouraged to visit the Library to collect holiday reading while keen VCE students opted to borrow study guides from the VCE Collection.

 

In support of our Francophile staff and students the Library curated a Tour de France display, featuring cycling guides, biographies of past Tour de France winners and titles very “chic and Frenchy”.

 

Students were invited to have a say in their Library’s future by participating in an online survey over the holiday break. Feedback will be used in setting the Library’s goals, objectives and budget proposals moving forward. A lucky student from each year level won a Dymocks book voucher for submitting their responses - Lauren Gilfedder (7E), Freya Matthews (8C), Nat Cosgrave (9E), Ishwarya Polisetti (10C), Mehrien Hussain (11B) and Shoan Kondhalkar (12A).

 

 

Fourteen students have completed The Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge - eight students in 7B, two students in 7C and one student each representing 8D, 8E, 8G and 9B. It’s not too late to log in and start the Challenge - follow the links on the Library’s Web OPAC page: https://library.gec.vic.edu.au Please see Library staff should you need your log in details.

 

Book Club members have begun preparing for an upcoming excursion in September while the Library Monitors finished the term on a high with a morning tea. Congratulations to Dan Federer (7G) who was presented with a Library Monitor Award for his outstanding contribution in planning and delivering a student lunchtime event. Library Monitors held a meeting during the first week of term 3 to plan future lunchtime activities. Watch this space for further news!

 

 

Many new books are now available - most chosen by students via the Book Suggestion Box kept at the Library’s circulation desk.  Come and check these out - and don’t forget the great range of eBooks and audiobooks available through the College’s ePlatform.
