Library News 

Welcome back to the library. It’s getting chilly out there. As such, we have had an influx of students into the library before school and during lunchtime. It has been great to have so many students enjoying the space and having fun with friends in the warmth. We urge students to remember to clean up any games they use and not to eat in the library so that we can have a clean and safe space for everyone to enjoy.

New Signage

Our new genre signs are up and looking amazing. We hope they will help students find their way around the library shelves more easily and lead them to a book they might love.

Reading Chairs

Our reading chairs have been a huge success! We love that students are enjoying reading on the floor with the back support of the floor reading chairs. We encourage everyone to sit back and relax with a book or magazine and test out our new chair options.

Library Notice Board

As students enter the library, they will notice a whiteboard just inside the door. This is our Notice Board. We update this board with news and challenges every day. News is regarding important events on each day and challenges range from puzzles to solve, kindness activities to participate in, and conversation starters to try. On special occasions, there could even be prizes given out for participation. We hope this board will get students talking to each other and trying new things.

Lego

Lego is still as popular as ever. At the moment, students are creating beautiful flowers and vehicles to drive off ramps! The Lego towers by the front door grow every day and we love looking at all the intricate details.

Exams and study

We would like to remind students that library is a great space to study, we implore students to reach out for help if they need it. We are here to help with resources and proofreading, among other things, and we are happy to provide this assistance. We are also glad to see so many students taking full advantage of the quiet study spaces in Marian 1 and Marian 2.
