Library Sessions
Each class has a weekly library session with the Teacher-Librarian (T-L). Students complete literature and research skills planned cooperatively by the T-L and class teacher to complement or extend current classroom units of work. Students also borrow during this time.
Lost Books
Overdue notices are printed at the end of each term. Students cannot borrow if their book is overdue. Borrowers who have not returned long overdue books by the end of term will receive a letter from the LRC requiring replacement costs to be paid.
Parent Help
Parents are welcome to help in the LRC with book covering, mending, maintenance and shelving. Your support, no matter how big or small is ALWAYS welcome!!!! Please come in to see us if you would like to help.
