LIBRARY NEWS
It has been wonderful to welcome students back to the library this term!
As we begin borrowing again, please ensure that your child has a named, waterproof library bag to take books to and from school. This is a requirement for borrowing from our school library.
Borrowing limits are as follows:
Prep and Year 1: One book
Year 2: Two books
Year 3-Year 6: Three books
Apart from their class borrowing times, students from Year 1 to Year 6 can also return and borrow books during the week at second break (1.15pm-1.35pm) on their allocated days:
Monday: Years 1, 3 and 5
Tuesday: Years 2, 4 and 6
Wednesday: Years 1 to 6
Thursday: Years 1, 3 and 5
Friday: Years 2, 4 and 6
Scholastic Book Club
Our school participates in Scholastic Book Club. Twice a term, your child will bring home a Book Club catalogue with a different selection of books offered for all ages.
If you choose to purchase, please use the Book Club LOOP platform www.scholastic.com.au/loop which allows you to order online and pay by credit card. We are cashless Book Club so please do not send any money to school.
Issue 1 catalogues have been distributed to classrooms and will be sent home early next week. Please browse the catalogue and order before 14 February. The order will be submitted to the school and the books will be delivered to your child’s class when they arrive.
In order for our Book Club to run smoothly, we require parent volunteers to sort and package the books. Would you consider becoming part of our valued team of helpers? Just an hour, a couple of times a term, can make a difference. Please contact our Teacher Librarian, Sue Burgess smbur1@eq.edu.au to indicate your interest. Thank you.
While there is never any obligation to order, our Book Club raises funds to buy resources for our library and classrooms so we are grateful for your support.
