Find out what is happening in our School Library Community - February 2021

What a busy and exciting start to the new school year we have had in the Library! Firstly, we welcome our new Teacher/Librarian Mrs Lauren Hudson who has been doing wonderful things with all classes in regards to learning how the library works, where to find books and how to borrow. Mrs Kirsty Vera has also returned in her Library Administration role from the end of last year and can be found working happily in the Library every Wednesday. We are also lucky to have Miss Laura Monaghan helping for a few hours each week.

Over the holidays we received a lot of donations for which we are very thankful. We would love to spend some time ordering new books for the Library now, so we ask that if you have any donations please hold onto them for the time being or consider donating them to Lifeline or St Vinnies. 

New books in 2021

We have had some deliveries of new books in the Library and some of these include:

We are always on the lookout for great new titles so if you or your child has a recommendation for our Library please email us!

Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge

We are also excited to begin participating in the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge for 2021! 

The Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge is open to children from preschool to Year 8. Entrants are required to read 15 books between February and September and keep a Student Reading Record.

By participating, students can win book vouchers for the school library.

Entrants can choose their own books or ask parents, teachers or librarians for suggestions.

Students will be receiving their Reading Record very soon - we hope that all families will encourage participation and share in the fun of this reading challenge.

Other Library News

We are always keen to have parents and carers assist in our Library Community by covering books. If you would like to help us, please send us an email and we will organise a bag of books to be picked up at the Front Office. Thank you so much in advance!!

Additionally, if you have any queries about books that your child has borrowed or may have lost, please contact us - we are always happy to help.

Happy Reading,

Lauren Hudson (Teacher/Librarian) lauren.hudson@cg.catholic.edu.au
