Del Monte Library

A Magical Year of Reading!

What a magical year it has been for our reading community! From our vibrant Book Week events to inspiring author visits and the joy of National Simultaneous Storytime, we’ve celebrated the power of stories together. These experiences have not only enriched our love for reading but also fostered a sense of connection among students and staff alike.

Returning Library books:

As we approach the end of the year, we kindly ask all students to start returning their library books. This is essential as we prepare to reset the school library and conduct our stocktake in anticipation of exciting digital resources being implemented next year. Your timely returns will help us ensure that our collection is ready and accessible for everyone. If you have any overdue books, please bring them back as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation!

Summer reading:

With the holiday season approaching, it’s the perfect time to dive into some new books! Whether you’re cozying up at home or travelling, reading can be a wonderful escape. We encourage students to explore local libraries and independent bookshops during the break. These community resources not only offer a fantastic selection of books but also host events and activities that can enrich your reading experience.

Consider setting a holiday reading challenge for yourself! Visit your local library to discover new genres/authors or support your local bookshop by picking up a few titles that catch your eye. Let’s keep the love of reading alive this holiday season!

Happy reading and don’t forget to return those books!
