Library Lovers' Day

In libraries across Australia (public, private and school), February 14th is known as LIBRARY LOVERS' DAY – dedicated to book lovers everywhere. 

The day is an opportunity to honour libraries and the wonderful books held within their collections. The word Library is actually a Latin word meaning ‘a place that stores books’. 

Students and staff at Ballarat High School have been invited to inscribe on a paper heart why they love our school library, books and reading.  Hearts have been placed on the windows facing Sturt Street, so everyone driving past and visiting our library on foot, can see the love everyone shares for our beautiful library space.  

Our school library is managed by a vibrant team of qualified library staff who aim to meet the needs, interests and ideals of every student.  We genuinely welcome our users, giving students an opportunity to browse, borrow, read and study.  

We offer a number of lunchtime clubs for students to make new friends, share common interests and develop new skills including Craft, Book Lover’s, Pokemon/Yu-gi-oh, Mindful Monday, Warhammer, Dungeons and Dragons and Creative Writing.  See Library staff to join a club.
