Busy days in the Library

The last couple of days have been busy here in the Library - not so much with Library 'stuff' though. 
Although there has been some of that - re-shelving, shelf checking, lots of quietly muttered comments over where books have been found, and then an acknowledgment that at least the collection is being used.  Overdues and account notices sent out, which, I guess, also proves that the Library is being used.

However, the Library isn't just about books and computers, although that is a large part of what we do.........

Homework classes for the Middle School run from the Library on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday's, and recently we have had up to 15 students in after school working hard.
Senior homework classes run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.


Blood Pressure fine!
He DOES have a heart.
Yesterday saw a visit from the Remote Health Team who were here to showcase careers in the health field.  A lot of the visiting team were trainee doctors who did a brilliant job of engaging the senior students.
There were fingers being plastered, blood pressure being taken - there were even a few 'bodies' sprawled out having ultrasounds done on their hearts so that they could see all the inner workings of the body.  The students were fascinated, as were most of the staff.

Thanks to Mrs Spina for the use of the photos.

Today there is a visit from the United Nations Youth representative team and again we have various classes of students engaged and involved with what is happening. 

Just a reminder that Library staff are available to help with locating resources for class or individual use, including websites if necessary, proof reading of assignments, and helping with bibliographies if requested.  We are not limited to this however. So if you think there may be something that we can help you with, come and have a chat.
