Kids Lit Quiz

Last Thursday an amazing bunch of readers took part in our 2016 Kids Lit Quiz.  They answered 6 rounds of questions based on books they had read in Term 3.  Look out for the winning team at next weeks assembly.

Choosing the right book

Do you know how to choose the right book?  Have a look at this display by the picture books next time you come to the library.  It might be able to help you find a book that is just right!

Week 7!!!

Wow!  I can't believe it's week 7 already!
This week is Tongan Language Week, and it's also Conservation Week!
There are a couple of new displays in the library.
This one can help you learn some Tongan phrases...

And this one is about Conservation Week.  Can you identify these New Zealand native birds?

Roald Dahl!

Have you seen the Roald Dahl display in the library?!  We have a set of 15 nice new copies of Roald Dahl books - they are on display at the moment but you will be able to borrow them soon.  The 13th of September is Roald Dahl day, it is 100 years since he was born.  Here is a link to a website celebrating Roald Dahl, go check out some of the games and activities!  What is your favourite Roald Dahl book?

Library display: The Olympics!

Did you check out the Olympics display in the library?!  If not, you'd better get in quick, a new display will be going up soon!  What was your favourite Olympic moment from Rio 2016?

Bookclub Starting Up

 Well the Bookclub for years 5 & 6 had their first meeting of the year today (Tuesday).
The members decided to call the group - The Page Turners.
Current reads were discussed or recommended.
Jack has kindly written to Gavin Bishop and is in the process of organising an online chat with him and the bookclub for next term.
And the bookclub has registered to be book award judges for the Hell Children's Choice Book awards. Currently we have a selection of these books which members are taking home to read then exchanging for other selected titles. Voting for  their choices will be next term as judging forms have to be in by May 13th.

Audio books @ The Library

Kia Ora everyone,

Here at the library Gill and my passion project last week was to bring audio books to the library.
Remember that dilapidated old CD Player that didn't work? Well with a brand new CD Player and a whole lot of CD's out of storage we now have some audio books done and ready for listening to.

Happy Listening

~ Jack
