Loving the Library @ MSC

Welcome back from remote learning!

Term 2 was certainly different for everyone and presented an opportunity for us to find new ways to keep in touch and keep reading!

The link for the MSC Library is now on Compass, the Intranet Launch Pad and the school Website. Students and staff can access this from school and when away from school.

Our school Library portal contains links to the online book collection at Melton City Libraries and the State Library of Victoria. By registering and logging onto the Melton City Libraries portal, students have access to over 5000 online books that they can borrow and read on their own device.  It also includes links to some great book reviews and the Victorian Premiers Reading Challenge.  The school page has a dynamic preview of What’s new for when you are next in the Library. Family members and friends are also able to access the Melton City Libraries collection by registering online.

COVID 19 - Library books carry similar risks to any other surface, which is exposed to the virus.  Sanitiser has been made available to students in 5 locations upon entry and within the Library. Students are encouraged to sanitise before they browse.  All book returns are quarantined for 5 days before going back on the shelves.  The cleaning crew regularly wipe over high contact surfaces in the Library.  All iPad loans include a disinfectant spray which is to be used before devices are returned to the carry basket.

We would like to introduce our new team member Adele.  She has already made great connections with students and brings a new element to our team. Adele works in the Library 2 days a week.

The library is currently open daily from 8.30am to 3.30pm, and 8.30am to 3.00pm on Wednesday. The Library is closed during recess and lunch due to the staggered timetable. Students may borrow 4 items on a fortnightly basis and are able to re-borrow if required.  We are very happy to continue supporting senior students in the Year 12 independent Quiet Study Room located in the library. 

Looking forward to seeing you back in the Library.
