Term 3

Term Three is such a busy term here at Richmond Library. We are preparing for Book week in week 6.  The theme this year is "Find your Treasure". We hope that all children find some hidden treasures in our library and enjoy our collection.

If any parents are wishing to help during book week, we will be conducting a Scholastic Book Fair and any parents wishing to donate their time for about 1 hour either in the morning or afternoon to help collect money or help other parents of children it would be greatly appreciated.
