This fortnight has been an extremely busy one for the library as we have had many 'irons in the fire'.The library has been a hive of activity as we primped and prepped for Open Day. New ID cards have been printed for Year 7, and the Premier's Reading Challenge for 2019 was officially launched on Monday 4 March.

Open Day is the opportunity for the College and its departments to showcase themselves to our families and prospective families, and the library is no exception.

From the Big Sister Little Sister display, the furnishings and aesthetic enhancements courtesy of Year 10 Design and Technology class 2018, the Sphero maze run by the Tech Club, the PowerPoint display of all the clubs on offer by the library, the latest additions to the library's collection, visitors to the library on Open Day were impressed with the improvements and ongoing growth of the library.

Our students played host to the library's numerous visitors, taking them on a tour and pointing out all that the library has to offer. It was very heartening to hear the pride with which the girls spoke of their library and their glowing testimonials were a positive affirmation that what we do, believing it to be for the benefit of the staff and students, is in fact noticed and appreciated as such.

Monday 4 March saw the official launch of the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge for 2019. The challenge is open to all students in Years K-9, and we invite all interested students to participate. There was a quick meeting of interested students held in the library on Thursday, and those students will shortly receive their logins so they can electronically log their reading list. It is not too late to join up. Please pop into the library and see Mrs Harradine or Mrs Robertson. Our collection has many new additions so there is no shortage of material to suit every reader. Happy reading.
