Library News
Welcome to 2020!
As we kick off our year together, I’d just love to say welcome to the new families joining this wonderful community and welcome back to all our other families. Our library will be buzzing this year with lots of events and transformations. I look forward to meeting all of you over the course of the year. If you have any library related questions, feel free to email me- bianca.gleeson@mn.catholic.edu.au (note maiden name).
Book Club
Our school is participating in Scholastic Book Club this year. Up to twice a term, during the school year, I will send home the Book Club catalogue with a different selection of books offered for all ages.
You’ll find award-winning books and bestsellers, as well as old and new favourites. I recommend them because the books span a wide range of children’s reading levels and interests and are inexpensive (some books cost as little as $2).
It is easy to order. The Book Club LOOP platform for parents allows you to pay by credit card. Your child’s order is submitted directly to school and the books will be delivered to class. You can place your child’s order at scholastic.com.au/loop or by using the LOOP app.
Owning your own books is something special! Each order helps earn free books and teaching materials for our classroom, however there is never any obligation to order. I know of no better way to encourage reading than to allow children to choose the books they want to read.
Library Borrowing
Each Friday, all classes will visit the library for borrowing. Every student is encouraged to browse and borrow from our amazing collection of books. All that the students will need is a library bag! Students will return their books each Friday ready to discover another amazing adventure in the form of a book. This will commence Week 3- Friday 14th February.
