Family Reading Week 

Thank you for supporting your readers during family reading week. I trust it was a valuable time to reinforce the joy of reading. 

Family Book Club 

Our next book is the CBCA short-listed title by Jackie French, Tigg and the Bandicoot Bushranger. This historic fiction is set in the late 1850’s and draws on real world conditions of this time.

Celebrating our Work in Semester One 

We are proud of the service our library offers to the school community. Here are some highlights of the year to date: 

Overdue Loans 

If you are receiving overdue reminders via email, we appreciate you taking the time to find and return these loans. The emails are generated automatically when loans are 2 weeks late and again at 4 weeks. 

Volunteer Coverers 

Thanks go to our volunteers this term who take the time to cover new library material; Jane Jolly, Meridith Kause, Penny Pole, Mary Milton and Meryll Nunn. We appreciate your efforts very much! 

Happy Holiday Reading Everyone
