It’s a good time to love reading!

We’re very excited about this upcoming event.  We’re looking forward to our community of readers congregating in Langley Hall @ 10.35 on Wednesday 23rd May to enjoy this fabulous book.

We’re also very excited about the arrival of our books  for the annual Book Fair.  Classes will be invited to preview the books and merchandise for sale on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th May.  Books will be on sale in the Library from 8.00am – 6.00pm Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th May.  You can order online and bring in a receipt, or pay with cash or EFTPOS on the day.

There is absolutely no pressure to purchase anything from the book fair, however, should you choose to do so, every dollar spent will benefit our library.

The Library will be closed for borrowing from Wednesday 23rd-Tuesday 29th May.  Our readers can borrow from our Pop-Up Libraries, R-2 can read on the Oxford Owl Platform and our 3-7 can access our Literacy Pro digital library 24/7.

In addition, each CLG reader has a subscription to our digital library, Wheelers eBooks.  (See infographic below.  Click on the image to enlarge).

 

Happy reading!

WELCOME BACK

Welcome back!  I hope you enjoyed a fabulous break and managed to read for pleasure.  I know I certainly enjoyed savoring some lazy afternoons with some beautiful books.

Thank you to everyone who attended the first Book Club of the year on the last Friday of school.  We enjoyed sharing our reading experience and love of the book  Wonder.

Scholastic Book Club brochures will go home today, with orders due on Friday 11th May.  As always there is absolutely no pressure to purchase from the catalogue, but feel free to do so as every dollar spent supports our school library.

Our annual Book Fair is just around the corner, so keep May 28 and 29 free to support our major fundraiser.

It’s been fantastic to see so many children complete the Premier’s Reading Challenge already – keep up the great work everyone.

Happy reading!

Simone

SPECIAL BOOK FAIR GUEST AT ASSEMBLIES TODAY

 

Simone was so excited about Book Fair that she brought a very special  guest with her to both assemblies today…You might be lucky enough to meet him yourself next week!

Cranky Bear Guest Appearance

There’s a bear in there

Book Fair sales start this MONDAY from 8.00am to 6.00pm and continue on Tuesday from 8.00am to 6.00pm.

If you are unable to attend the Book Fair but your child is desperate to buy a book, you can purchase online.  Simply visit Scholastic, make your payment and send the receipt number in with your child (preferably on the back of their Book Wish). If the book is in stock we will send it home with them there and then, if not it will be ordered and at school within about 7-10 working days.

See you next week for another epic book loving week.

BOOK FAIR ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY

A brochure was sent home with your child today containing some of the titles that will be available for purchase at our Book Fair.  The books will arrive at school this Wednesday (how exciting!), and all classes have been invited to come and preview  the selection.  At this time students will be given the opportunity  to fill out a “Wish List” of books they would like you to consider purchasing.

 

PREVIEWS – Wednesday to Friday this week

SALES STRICTLY – MON 29 & TUE 30 MAY 8.00AM – 6.00PM

Should you choose to make a purchase your  support will be greatly appreciated as each dollar spent helps us to purchase more books for our learning community.

Happy Reading,

Simone

Book Fair is Here!

Book Fair

We are so excited that our Book Fair stock arrived today, and what a beautiful range of books it is.  We are trialling a new supplier this year in an attempt to have more diversity, include more popular titles and series, and to have more books at an affordable price.

We are also really excited to say that you can pay for orders from the comfort of your home.  Parent Payment Portal.

Making a payment does not order your child’s books. Your child must bring the receipt to the school.  Simone and Jan Marie will place orders on your behalf.

Make sure you follow the payment process to the end.

A full list of titles as of 20th May is available via the link here – Online Catalogue of available books.  Please note that this list is updated daily and some titles may sell out.

We look forward to seeing you all at the book fair and thank you in anticipation of your generous support of our major Library fundraiser this year.
