Del Monte Library
We have an exciting lineup of events planned for our school library next term and we can’t wait to share them with you.
Week 3: Book Fair
From Monday 4 August to Friday 8 August, our library will host a fantastic Book Fair. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore a wide range of books and find new favourites. There will be something for everyone, from picture books to young reader novels and informative texts. Parents are welcome to visit the fair with their children before and after school and during the events of that week which include 100 Days of Kindergarten and Grandparents Day. Don’t miss out on the chance to add some great reads to your home library!
Week 5: Book Week Extravaganza
Book Week will take place from Monday 18 August to Friday 22 August. This year’s theme is ‘Book an adventure’ and we have a series of special events planned:
- Author Visit from Anna Fienberg: We are thrilled to announce that renowned author Anna Fienberg will be visiting the library on Friday 22 August. Anna is best known for her beloved Tashi series, and she will be sharing her experiences as a writer. This is a unique opportunity for students to meet a real-life author and be inspired by her stories.
- Dress Up Book Character Parade: On Friday 22 August, we will also hold our annual Dress Up Book Character Parade. Students are encouraged to come to school dressed as their favourite book characters, however no superheroes please. This is always a highlight of the term, with creative costumes and lots of fun. Parents are invited to join us for the parade at 9:00am in the Del Monte hall.
We look forward to seeing everyone participate in these exciting events. Let’s make Term 3 a memorable one filled with the joy of reading!
Happy reading and remember to continue logging your PRC books. The Premier’s Reading Challenge finishes on 19 September 2025.
