Find out what is happening in our School Library Community June 2021 |
Welcome to June! We have started this month with a celebration of Reconciliation. The students explored Indigenous books, and watched a BTN report on the history and meaning of the Aboriginal flag. There are plenty of books on display for students to borrow or browse through.
Family Borrowing - Wednesday 2:50 -3:30
The Library is now open every Wednesday for Family Borrowing time. We hope to see you there! We have some lovely new books in the Library and a range of parenting and helpful books that parents and carers can now borrow.
Scholastic Book Fair
We’ve had a few inquiries from parents and students regarding the Scholastic Book Fair. This will take place in Term 3. Watch this space for more information!
Happy Reading,
