We have returned to regular borrowing in the library and which is great for our students and please note that we are wiping over each book that is returned.

Thank you to the parents who contacted me or assisted their child in returning overdue library books last week. Please continue to find these books if you haven’t done so already. 

Please continue to encourage your child to read over the school holidays. We want them to read for enjoyment so please seek out books at the local library and online books too if you’re running low! All students who have a library bag have also had the opportunity to borrow books for the holidays.

The West Gippsland library service has a wonderful website to reserve books.

The difference in reading ability between a child who reads for pleasure for 30 minutes a day and those who never read was more than a year. And it’s not just one report; this finding has been confirmed in many other pieces of research. 

Thank you to all our families for supporting Issue 4 of Book Club. Bookclub is available for ordering and payment on-line via the Scholastic BookClub Loop.
