Book Fair – May 21st - May 26th 

Our first Book Fair for the year will be starting Wednesday, May 21st in the library. There will be plenty of books, posters and novelty stationery items on sale. 30% of all sales comes directly back to our library in the form of dollar-for-dollar reward points, to spend on new books and resources for the library. Thank you for supporting Book Club and Book Fair, our major fundraisers for the school library.  

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) Day – May 21st

On the same day Book Fair kicks off, we will also be celebrating NSS across the school. Every year the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) selects a wonderful Australian book to be read by millions of people in Australia and New Zealand simultaneously. This is a fun celebration of reading for pleasure.

This year the book selected is “Truck Cat” by new author Deborah Frenkel, with illustrations by award-winning artist Danny Snell. This touching tale explores themes of cats and humans, immigration and identity, and the experience of losing and finding home.

To promote and celebrate this book and event, we will be holding an in-school competition during the week of NSS, with a chance to win a copy of the book, bookmark and stickers.
