Holiday Reading

Christmas and the summer holidays are fast approaching!!!  Firstly, a reminder that all library loans are due back on Friday 7 December so that we can stock take our collection.  Our digital library ePlatform will still be available throughout the holidays, 24/7, anywhere in the world, so there is no excuse to stop reading!

ePlatform is a fantastic resource with over 1000 eBook and 600 Audiobook titles on offer.  Loans are for 2 weeks and return automatically, so no risk of overdues or lost books! 

ePlatform can be accessed from the ‘eBooks’ button on the library homepage:

Compass > ‘Star’ > Resource Centre > eBooks

You can sign in with your school username and password.

An easier way to access ePlatform is to download the ePlaform App on any Smart device.  Watch this VIDEO to see how easy it is.

Downloading Audiobooks can use a lot of data, but with ePlatform App you can preload books so you can listen data free when you’re out and about.  This VIDEO shows you how.

Automated Reminder Emails

We are excited to announce the launch of automated reminder emails for overdue books this term.  Emails will be sent to students two days before their book is due, then at three days and 14 days overdue.  After 14 days overdue, library staff will begin contacting parents.  This is a huge improvement from the previous manual system.

Just a reminder that library loans are for two weeks only and students are expected to renew or return their books after this time.  Whilst we don’t charge overdue fines, if your book is long overdue you will need to pay for a replacement.
