Welcome to Term 2

This is going to be a very busy term.
There are many things happening in our wonderful library.



WAYRBA (Western Australia Young Readers Book Awards)

The Western Australian Young Readers Book Awards are on until September, 2017.

https://wayrba.org.au/

Children are asked to read books from the short listed titles and give their opinion on this title. Families can do this together or children can do this individually.
The books and tally sheets are available at the library, and there will be a tally displayed as well.



Come into the library and see our WAYRBA display.
