Some Library Quotes to Ponder ...

Paper Plus Fun Day Event - Saturday 29th October 2016

Ever wondered how Lynley Dodd first got into children's books? ‘We were sitting in the garden – having cucumber sandwiches ... – and Eve said to me over the cucumber sandwiches, "You like drawing and I like writing, why don’t we do a children’s book?"' And so a masterpiece was born! :)

The library is up and running for the term.  Librarians remain the same as with Term 3 - so come on in and meet them, while you browse for books.   
Issuing can be done at lunchtimes with the librarians, and assistance is available during class times - all you need to do is ask. 
There is also a return slot on the desk by the door.  Come and pop books back in that for when librarians aren't at the desk. 
Please remember, there is no food in the library, but we welcome your appetite for reading.
