Children’s Book Council of Australia Book Week

Children’s Book Council of Australia Book Week will be held from 21 -27 August (Week 7).  During Term 3 the students will be looking at the Shortlisted books and engaging in a wide range of activities that help them explore the themes and illustrations in the books. The theme this year is “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds” which has inspired the Book Week artwork by Shaun Tan. The holidays are a chance for students to start thinking about this theme when choosing their character for the Book Parade and be creative and imaginative with their design and construction of their costume.

Holiday Reading and Sora

The holidays are a great time to relax with a book so students have been able to borrow extra books for the holidays.  If they read all these books they can access eBooks and audio books. Your ACEN Overdrive and Sora eBook/audiobook online system is accessible to you with your CE network login over the school holidays 24/7. 

The ACEN OverDrive website is located at http://acen.lib.overdrive.com or by searching in the Apple store or Google Play for the OverDrive app. (link).  When asked to search for a library, click to search by ‘Name’, not location, and then search for ‘ACEN’.
