Holiday Reading

Holidays are a great time to catch up on reading. With the long summer holidays ahead of us, we encourage everyone to borrow from the Library’s extensive collection. Any book borrowed after 15 November is not due back until School returns in February. Boys can borrow up to 10 books. Besides the older favourites, there are many new books to choose from, for example:

Mr Einstein’s Secretary, Matthew Reilly (Historical Fiction)
Everyone on this Train is a Suspect, Benjamin Stevenson (Crime & Mystery)
Hamlet is Not OK, R. A. Spratt (Fantasy)
Burn, Melanie Saward (Indigenous)
One Song, A.J. Betts (Relationship & Coming of Age)
Kick-off, James Hook (Sports Stories)
Showing Up: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable, Nedd Brockmann (Non-fiction Stories)

During the holidays, boys can access the Library’s audio and ebook collections. Books can be accessed via the Library catalogue by limiting the search by “Media Type” to “eAudiobook” (1157 available) or “ebook” (2867 available). To borrow books from the digital platforms, boys log on with their Lampada username and the password “library”. Please note that everyone has the same password for ebooks and audiobooks. If boys want to access the books on a mobile device, they can download the apps. The app for the Wheelers platform is “ePlatform by Wheelers”. For audiobooks on BorrowBox, you simply download the app “BorrowBox Library”.  

Library staff wish everyone happy holidays with lots of reading!
