From the Library

For the last few years, the library focus for the physical collections has been on of renewal and augmentation. We have worked hard to purge the library of outdated, damaged and/or mouldy items and replace them with shiny new ones that students (and staff) will engage with.

The senior fiction collection has had a major overhaul, although our older cohorts don’t have as much free time as the younger ones, we have now amassed a good number of fantastic, relevant new novels. Don’t forget that we offer extended loans for ‘holiday reading’ so you can borrow a few more if you are planning a relaxing holiday.

The newly blended junior and senior non-fiction has been ‘plumped’ up as well with a lot of focus on key areas in the curriculum as well as areas of general interest as well (although keeping up with the fishing books is a constant struggle ?).

Bear in mind as you peruse this non-fiction collection that it does cover all cohorts so be guided by the spine label; a ‘J’ prefix indicates a book identified as more appropriate for junior cohorts and similarly an ‘S’ for senior – though students may borrow from either.

Remember staff members that you may borrow from the library as well so don’t be a stranger!

Last week I acknowledged our wonderful new Literary Ambassadors: Noah K., Hayley C., Aidan B., Georgia C., Phoebie R., Thehara G., Cooper, R., & Lucas, H.. Since the time of writing that article however, we have had even more enthusiastic volunteers: Isabel C., Hayden R., Laylah J., Iris D., Alicia M., & Bella L. Fantastic numbers proving the generosity and devotion of our students at Shalom – well done!
