Term 2 Week 1
New Librarian Gena Patini
Due to Tegan now working in the front office as our new front office lady. I Gena Patini will be the new Librarian for 2021. Please come and say hello and ask me any questions you might have. I am looking forward to learning and supporting LNPS as its 2021 Librarian!
ANZAC Day Book Display
In the Morphett Primary library space an ANZAC Day picture book display has been set up. These books allow students of all years here at LNPS to learn and remember why we celebrate ANZAC Day here in Australia. These books are for all students to share so for the time being they can't be borrowed.
Scholastic Book Club Orders
Book Club orders for Issue 2 are on their way! Students will be receiving their orders sometime this week.
2021 Library Changes
Please note which collections are in each building this year while Mellor classes occupy the Tirkandi building:
Tirkandi Library
- Picture books
- Non-fiction books
Morphett Primary Library
- Fiction books
- Series books (year 3+)
- Language books
- Picture books for older readers (orange stickers)
- Graphic novels (yellow stickers)
Premier's Reading Challenge
The Premier's Reading Challenge requires students from all year levels to read 12 books from the PRC booklist. Remember to check stickers on our library books to ensure students are reading at the appropriate level.
Completed forms can be handed into the Tirkandi library.
Borrow
Reception - Can borrow 4 books
Years 1, 2, 3, 4 - Can borrow 8 books
Years 5, 6, 7 - Can borrow 10 books
Parents – Can borrow up to 10 books
Books can be kept for a maximum of 2 weeks. All that is required for borrowing is a library bag (for Reception, Year 1/2) and no overdue books. Students are encouraged to manage their own library bag and to borrow regularly.
Return
Students can either place books they want to return in their classroom library box, directly into the green returns box in the Tirkandi library or the clear tubs at the borrowing station in the Morphett Primary Library. I kindly ask that students return books to the building they borrowed it from as this will significantly help to reduce movement between the two buildings.
Overdue Books
School policy states that $10 is the replacement cost for each book not returned or damaged. Students will be unable to borrow until the book(s) are returned or the $10 payment is made to the Tirkandi library. If the book is found the money will be refunded to you.
