Library News

Welcome back to Term 2. 

We hope you managed to find some quiet time to read a book or two over the holidays!  We are excited to be back for Term 2, we have lots of new books in the Library and some exciting events coming up. 

Book Fair

Watch the newsletter and Compass for exact dates and times as we get closer to our annual Book Fair which will start on Monday 15th May. 

Library Borrowing 

During weekly Library session there is an expectation that all students will bring a library bag and borrow books to share at home.  If you are able to, please spend some time reading or discussing your child’s library books with them.  Please also support your child to return their books on time.  Following up overdue books can take up an enormous amount of time which should be spent getting new and exciting books onto the Library shelves.
