Learn to knit in the library!

Each Tuesday lunchtime we will have wool and knitting needles available for students who would like to learn to knit. Learn to cast on, knit plain and purl stitches and cast off. Once you have the basics we can arrange materials for a full scale project. Students who learnt the basics last year are also welcome.

Extended book loans for holiday reading  

Students are reminded they can borrow up to 10 items for holiday reading.  

The loan period for print resources will be extended over the term break.  Any books borrowed this week will have a 4-week loan period and be due back the first or second week of term 3.    Students have time to choose some great books to take on holidays.   

Please remember to return any books you no longer need by the end of term 2, so others can have access to them.   

eBooks and Audiobooks available 24/7 online or download to your device
