Library News

Welcome to a new year in the library. The library is looking great and is a wonderful space for the children to use. There are plenty of activities on offer for children to do or a place to come and chill with a book.

Children will borrow from the library during rotational groups this year. Hopefully students can remember and return library books weekly or at least fortnightly. If not the library is open before school and at lunch times on other days for returning.

Therefore borrowing day for years Kinder, Year 3 and 4 is Wednesday. Years 1, 2, 5 and 6 will borrow on Thursday.

All children should have a library bag. Infants children may borrow 2 books and primary 4. Primary students should leave 1 book in their desk for classroom reading.

Children who have not returned books from last year need to do so ASAP so that they may borrow in 2020.
