New Arrivals - June
Scholastic’s Book club and Book Fair
This term we will not be running our Book Clubs because we are holding a Scholastic Book Fair.
The Book Fair will run from Monday August 1st to Wednesday to August 3rd.
Scholastic Bookfair Theme: Paws for Books. Come, Stay, Read a Great Tale!
On Monday and Tuesday each class will walk through the book fair to create a wish-list which they will take home on the day they create them.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the Book Fair will be open during Primary Parent Teacher Interviews to allow parents to visit the Book Fair with their children whilst on site. We will also be looking for parent volunteers to support us in operating our Book Fair during the interview times. We will also open during Recess and Lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Book Week
To celebrate Book Week, we invite all students and families to come to school dressed up as their favorite book character on Thursday 25 August at 9.10am.
Our aim is to have all students dress up as their favourite character or a character that
relates to the Book Week Theme for 2022: Dreaming with eyes open.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone’s creative costumes!

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 wish-list.
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
If you have any other enquiries, issues or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us via phone by ringing the main office or via email address library@moamagrammar.nsw.edu.au
