Primary Lego and Coding Clubs
We are also looking for secondary students to run a primary lego and/or coding during lunchtime.
Currently a Year 6 team of students are sorting our lego collection so that we have kits for students to use in our Lego club.

Borrowing and Returns
Students may borrow and return books before school, recess, lunch time and after school. Primary School students also have the chance to borrow books during their fortnightly Library lessons.
Renewals
Students are able to re-borrow books for an additional two weeks by speaking to staff at the Library Circulation Desk. If further borrowing is requested after this, students are required to bring their book with them to allow the staff to sight the book. In addition, students can renew their book/s by emailing the Library.
Requests
If your child would like to borrow a specific book and the title is not included in our current catalogue, we will add this to our purchase wishlist.
Overdue notices
If you receive an overdue notice there is a chance that the books may been processed through our system after the email was sent, so we encourage all parents to follow up any issues by emailing the Resource Centre at library@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au
