The countdown is on! A beautiful new library space awaits and I am making sure we take only the most wonderful books with us. The library has been a fury of culling and critiquing to ensure this happens.<\/p>\n

We have a wonderful new collection that has arrived this week and I am excited to hear the reviews. My eye is on \u201cWhen it drops\u201d by Alex Dyson a former Tripe J Radio host who has used his experience along with a Creative Writing degree to pen his first novel. The novel tells of the journey of a High School musician. When Caleb\u2019s brother releases a song without Caleb\u2019s knowledge, it sets off a chain of events that turns Caleb\u2019s life upside down. One Minute he is the weird social outcast and the next he is a local celebrity with music all over the radio. Having his innermost feelings (accompanied by a funky bass line) go viral is not Caleb\u2019s idea of a good time. But is this the end of everything or the start? Visit the library to find out how the story evolves!<\/p>\n

At assignment times don\u2019t forget we have access to the fabulous resource Gale In Context: High School Database, where you can find reference material, audio titles, academic journals and even images all for your use – this can be accessed using the Library Page on the Learning Hub.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you find yourself finishing up your latest novel and looking for a new read, have you thought of our Ebook platform Wheelers? Here you can find titles not found in our physical library and perhaps your new favourite read is waiting for you there – access can on the Learning Hub Library Page<\/p>\n

You will also find on the Library Page a Library Bingo to challenge you.\u00a0 This will last for the rest of the year and we are eager to see how many boxes can be crossed off. A great way to read outside your comfort zone. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"Book of the week – When it Drops<\/h3>\n

Sixteen-year-old songwriter and aspiring social outcast Caleb Clifford fills his world with music, but \u2013 like most things \u2013 keeps his songs to himself. That is until his little brother leaks Caleb’s most personal track online; a track that’s quite obviously about his secret crush. A hilarious and touching coming-of-age debut novel from ARIA award-winning Triple J host Alex Dyson about family, friends, fame, and the importance of never leaving your computer unattended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
