Just out of interest - you may like to know that February 17th will be the 150th birthday of 'Banjo' Paterson, one of our best-loved bush poets. As our new curriculum seems to have more of a focus on poetry it may be a day to introduce our students to some of his works.
Friday is Library Lovers Day (and Valentine's Day) and here in the Library we are pleased to be able to facilitate some meetings between books and readers in the hopes of seeing romance bloom.
We are organising Blind Dates with books. We have lots of mysterious wrapped up parcels of eager books just waiting to be borrowed and enjoyed. These will be on display on Friday and can be borrowed all day. There are lots of Fiction, along with some Non-Fiction books that wanted to get in on the action as well. All sorts of genres and information.
So come in and give it a try - what have you got to lose?
Just for general information and pre-planning there are a number of days throughout the year that promote READING. Some of these are;
World Read Aloud Day March 5th
National Simultaneous Storytime May 21st
Indigenous Literacy Day September 3rd
Picture Book Month November
The last one is probably my favourite - love those picture books!! So if you have any ideas of things we could do to celebrate those dates, come and see me.
I am looking for people to write brief book reviews on books they have read and enjoyed from here, so if any of your students are interested, that would be wonderful.
Have an awesome week everyone!
