Come in & check out our great Aussie Rules section in the library that has information about what’s happening in the football world, pictures of your favourite players, fixtures & the AFL ladder that is updated weekly. 

There is also a great selection of football books including the very popular Specky Magee series & books about each of the AFL clubs. All these books can be borrowed and taken home to enjoy with your family.

Due to the success of last year’s “lucky dip”, the LIBRARY BOOK LUCKY DIP  will be run again from the 15th - 25th March. This time the books are from the Picture Story Book section.

Pick a package from one of the boxes in the picture story book section. Make sure you take the package to the returns desk, so your teacher can borrow the book out into your name. The barcode number is on the outside of the package.

Can you wait until you get home to see what book you have got or will the suspense be too much?

Why not take the challenge today!!

Welcome back to school. What a great year 2010 is shaping up to be. Lots of exciting things are planned for the library throughout the year.

This term is all about Australian Authors & Illustrators as we prepare to nominate our favourite books for the Young Australian Best Book Awards (YABBA). Check out all the Australian books that are currently on display around the library. Look for the Australian flags to help you easily find our great range of  “home grown” books. Soon you will be able to go directly to your favourite Australian author’s website via this blog. Watch this space for more details.

Back by popular demand is the “Lucky Book Dip”. This term you will be able to lucky dip for a  picture story book. Begins in March.

Once again the library is open every Thursday from 1pm. Come in for some quiet reading or drawing or to play a board game. See you on Thursday.
