Welcome back to Term 2

It's so exciting to have normal classes in our brand new space!  It's going to be great to have all the books within easy reach again, and to have the library buzzing with students and teachers and not just power tools!

On our New Book stand this week is Eric Vale: Epic Fail.  If you liked Wimpy Kid books, or Timmy Failure, Big Nate or Origami Yoda books, you will love Eric Vale!  Have you ever had a day you just wanted to forget?  Eric definitely has.....

Here is the trailer on YouTube  to have a look at - come and reserve the book from the library this week!

The Library is Open - and It's Library Week!!

This term has certainly been long and complicated.... but now we have a new and exciting space, and it looks wonderful!!

Thank you all for your patience while the building work has been going on, and also for adapting to having books come to you, instead of you coming to the library.  We all hope you will love using the new and improved library, and that you all have a wonderful year in in here, reading and learning.


...And WELCOME TO LIBRARY WEEK 2014!  Look out for special stories, competitions, Dress Up Day, and Library Olympics..... let's celebrate our library and have some fun!

2014 student librarians

Yes, this year has certainly been a little complicated in the library - but we are coming to the end of the refurbishment now, and getting everything ready for the Library Opening on Monday!

Our new student librarians have been announced, and we are delighted to have the following as student librarians in 2014!

Paua: Ryan, Caitlin, Elizabeth, Elena, Nicholas, Brooklyn

Kea: Ratana, Kayla, Nadine, Haylee, Anna, Erin

Ruru: Gracie, Amy, Kaylee, Josh, Will R, Paige

Congratulations, everyone, and let's look forward to a great year ahead!

Our library is mobile....

The building work inside the library is moving along fast... and we are planning what to buy to make the new space fun, exciting, and a great place for you to read and enjoy!

In the meantime, it is great to be able to bring books to you, and really good to hear your feedback on the books in the box for each class.  You are all choosing such interesting things!

New Year, New Library!

Welcome back to a new school year, everyone!  It's hard to believe how fast Term One is going!  You may have noticed that there are some big changes happening to (and around) the library.  

When all the building work is finished, we will have a much bigger space, with some really great spaces to work and to enjoy our library and its books!

Here are some of the photos to show you what has been happening...

The Night before Christmas... (nearly!)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Have happy and safe holidays, and read lots and lots of books...

Here is Caroline Quentin reading 'The Night before Christmas' to end the year for our blog.  See you next year!

Summer Reading Gives You Superpowers

It's stock take time this week - and we would love to see all our books back in the library, ready for lending out next year - or for reading over the summer.

Please search out all books that you know you have out - and a quick look under the bed and on the bookshelf would be great, too!

Summer Reading forms have gone out now for Tui to Kea rooms: it's a great way to keep learning over the summer, and to enjoy the books you have always wanted to read but haven't normally got the time!
