COLLEGE LIBRARY

Annie Dillard once said, “She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live”. In the first half of the year, we have had two students fulfil this quote, borrowing close to 40 books between them. Congratulations to Immara Dyer-Lewis and Eryn Matters who hold the highest borrowing rate this year so far!

We have obtained the Chaos Walking series, winner of the Guardian Children’s Prize. Reserve your copy now via the Library website. May will also see the arrival of six boxes of new books, so keep an eye out for the new books display. 

 

Thank you to the very talented Visual Arts students who have blessed us with a beautiful display this term. If you haven’t seen it, pop up and behold their wonderful talents. 

As the middle of the year fast approaches, it is a timely reminder to return you overdue books. Books are loaned out for two weeks at a time; if you have one past that, it is overdue. If you are still reading the book, I can renew it to allow you time to finish. Please make returning your library books a habit.

This term I have introduced “Whisper Wednesdays” to ensure there is a quiet space for students to prepare for their assessments and examinations. No card/board games will be played on Wednesdays and there will be no large group collaborations permitted in the Library. However, general library joy can be observed on all other days.
