National Simultaneous Storytime

National Simultaneous Story time is next Wednesday.  St Monica’s has registered all the students for this event.  The book is “Give me some space!” by Phil Bunting and will be an intergalactic experience with the NSS 202 with the book being read by the astronaut Dr Shannon Walker from the International Space Station. Over one million children across Australia and New Zealand will be participating in this fantastic experience. The National Simultaneous Storytime website has great resources linked to science and space to further engage the students with an interest in space. https://www.alia.org.au/nss .

Scholastic Book Fair 

To the Book Fair and Beyond! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon so get ready for some out-of-this-world excitement! You’ll go where no reader has gone before as you explore the coolest array of books in the cosmos. This stellar reading celebration will run in the library from Tuesday 25 May to Friday 28 May. Just visit the Fair with your family and you will go in the draw to win FREE BOOKS! This is one far-out event that you won’t want to miss!

The Bookfair is an important fundraiser for the library as the library receives a percentage of the sales from the bookfair. Each book purchase contributes to new books for the library. The funds raised from this bookfair will be used to purchase books for the fiction section of the library that we are focussing on updating with current titles. Our goal is to have 300 books in students homes so please come along and support the library to reach this target.
