LIBRARY NEWS

It is great to see so many enthusiastic students coming into our library each week!

Australian Reading Hour has a short and sweet message: read, share, and enjoy books!

We’re asking all Australians across the nation to spend an hour on the day reading and sharing the stories they love with others. 

WHEN TO READ

Choose any hour that suits you! Australian Reading Hour is about taking some time out to unwind and escape into a book, and you can take part at any time on the day.

We invite you to:

• Read something new or revisit an old favourite!
• Share the experience of the book with others – chat about what you’re reading in your community, your school, with your family and friends. #ARH23
• Enjoy the wellbeing benefits that come with reading. Did you know reading reduces stress by up to 68%? 

Share you family reading photos with us too at…..

Story Box Library

Just a reminder to parents and new families that we have a subscription to Story Box Library. There is a link to the website below, or you can download the app. I encourage you to try it out.

Audiobooks

If your child isn’t into reading, or if they haven’t found the genre that they love yet, get them listening to audio books. Also known as ear-reading, it’s a great way for our students to explore and develop a love of story. I use the app BorrowBox which is free through the Local Community Library-Myli.
