We are very excited to have so many of our students and new ones at school this year!

Our School Library Team strives to accomplish key goals throughout the year, sponsoring special events like:

· The Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC) - we are overjoyed that many of our students have already completed the PRC by returning the form with evidence of 12 books read so far this year;

· The Author visit during the annual Book Week (August 2023) - your children really ‘love’ this time of the year, where we focus their attention on activities in the Discovery Centre (look out more information later in the year)!

· Scholastic Book Fair – this is when your children come with their classes and are able to enjoy the new book releases and even purchase books that appeal to them. With your generous support, proceeds from the book sales can be reinvested into our library and allows us to purchase books for our loan catalogue.

A reminder about our Library Borrowing Rules:

· each class has a regular, scheduled weekly Library time;

· all books are due back to the Library one week after they were borrowed;

· students from Foundation to Year 2 can borrow 2 books per week;

· students from Years 3 and 4 can borrow 4 books per week;

· students from Years 5 and 6 are permitted to borrow up to 6 books per week; and finally,

· if any child requires more time to finish reading the books they have borrowed, you can receive an extension by:

o the child coming to the Library Desk;

o the parent/caregiver sending an email request to victoriacowley@ppn.sa.edu.au or karenblyde@ppn.sa.edu.au;

o the parent/caregiver calling the School Office and asking to speak to Mrs Cowley or Mrs Blyde.

We will send a courtesy reminder email to parents/caregivers when your child/s books are overdue. Kindly return borrowed books on time to the Library so that they are available for other students to borrow and enjoy the pleasure of reading them.
