Library Borrowing

A reminder that every student has library lessons on FRIDAY each week. 

Students will need a bag to safely transport their selections home. Regular home borrowing is an expectation at St Joseph's and although this is limited at present, students are still able to borrow. Books may be taken home for two weeks or returned each week for changing. 

Lunch times

The library will be open for students to enjoy on Fridays at lunch (second break).  For first term  this will be in the shared space next to the hall and will have games,  construction and jigsaws for student use available. 

It was lovely to see students availing themselves of the activities. The hand puppets were particularly popular!

Electronic Borrowing

Ebooks are a great option for students. Our library system- Oliver- is accessible to all students using their school login details. Part of our catalogue are ebooks which students may download onto their own devices for use at home. These books are automatically returned which means no overdue books! I encourage students to browse the ebooks in Oliver. 

Book Club

This service is offered again this year. There are normally two offerings each term. I look forward to delivering new books to those families who use this wonderful service. A generous percentage of our school sales are returned to us for use on resources. I look forward to getting new resources next term when we move into the new library space.

Payments may be made via LOOP on the Scholastic site, QKR to the school or by cash. QKR and cash payments must have the paper order submitted to school.

Unfortunatly, late orders will incur a Scholastic processing fee of $7.50.
