Library Update

2023 Wrap Up 

It has been a great year for us in the Library spaces – the K-4 Junior Library, 5-6 Stage 3 Space, 7-12 Reading Room and the Learning Commons.  

Aside from being a safe and fun hangout as well as learning zone, we’ve celebrated a love for literature and reading across various events this year: 

  • Twilight 
  • Book Fair 
  • Book Week 
  • Books & Bubbles 

Photos from the Year: Quick Throwback! 

 Parent Volunteer Thank You’s 

Thank you to the parents who have come and helped out in various capacities in our Library spaces this year – whether you have taken books home to cover, done some shelf tidying or book sorting, helped set up and pack down events – THANK YOU! The staff and students are blessed by your generosity and appreciate every little bit you have done. 

These volunteers were thanked at an afternoon tea last Friday. 

Holiday Borrowing 

All K-5 students who are staying at Inaburra have been invited to borrow up to 10 books for the holiday season. Likewise, any Year 7-11 student who is continuing on at Inaburra and has completed the Clearance Process is encouraged to borrow a selection of great reads for the summer holidays.  

The Library staff have been supporting students in picking from our fantastic collection and encouraging students to read widely, courageously, and for pleasure over the holidays.
