BOOK CLUB

On Monday 17 June, McKinnon's Book Club members had the opportunity to browse the latest book releases and make selections for the library collection. Local booksellers Benn's Books visited the school with a handpicked selection of exciting new titles.

Approximately fifteen Book Club students attended along with Gim Gibbs and Deirdre Robertson from the English faculty and Kathy Papworth and myself from the library. It was great to get the student's suggestions into what books they wanted to see in the library collection.
