Library Borrowing
- Students need a library bag to borrow. You can buy a library bag for $2 from the library OR bring your own cloth bag. No bag, no borrowing.
- Students borrow 2 books each week during K-2 class borrowing or Year 3-6 STEM lesson
- Student can borrow 3 books in the lead up to school holidays. No borrowing in lead up to December holidays
- Overdue slips are printed every few weeks to encourage circulation of books and ensure students aren't waiting too long for popular books.
- The library is currently closed at lunch and recess due to split timetable & construction works.
- In Term 4, borrowing usually ends around Week 7 to allow time for Library Stocktake
Overdue, lost or damaged books
- If a library book has been misplaced or lost, please check home & classroom trays. Then notify library staff to double check library shelves (sometimes it's mis-shelved by students). If the books are lost or heavily damaged, you can purchase a replacement copy or pay for the book via School Bytes. Please contact library if you have any queries about this.

- We welcome book donations to enrich our school library collection.
