New Book Bonanza

Over the August vacation, the library staff and prefects worked very hard to prepare our space and resources for everyone. Ms. Shepherd even joked that we might have to hang books from the ceiling, as we tried to make space for over 300 new books.

So, finally yesterday we finished the last of the Form 1 library orientation sessions and distributed the last of their library cards. And today for the first time in this new school year, we issued loans for all forms.

It was a awesome day! Over 240 students came into the library, and 72 people borrowed 104 books!

But there are plenty more where those came from. So if you missed out today, drop in tomorrow. The library will be open from 7.00 am to 3.45 pm and don't forget your library card!

    1. iPads are cool too. Some of us have them, or Kindles or Nooks. At lunchtime, students read on the carpet in the library! That's a lot of fun.

  7. Wow that is so cool that you guys have books. We have books but they are all on our iPads. I miss having a library and the feel of paper in my hands.

    1. Me too! But I don't miss carrying around a lot of heavy books, I like having lots of choices on my Nook, which is very light and easy to carry.
