Week 5 has been an exciting week in the Library of St Mary’s! Due to the building works, Year 1 has moved in to the Library space and the Library has now become mobile, moving from classroom to classroom.

This week we have celebrated and participated in National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) as organised by the Australian Library. This is the 20^th year that the NSS has been held so an exciting milestone!

The book chosen for NSS this year was "Whitney and Britney Chicken Divas" by Lucinda Gifford who is not only the author, but also the illustrator of the book. This week in the library we have had fun reading the book together and letting our imaginations be ignited as we enjoyed creating our own fun story ideas, and celebrated the book with colour, glamour and fun.

Whilst there is no borrowing available from the school library at the moment, please feel free to use PM Readers (login details provided by your classroom teachers) and also Story Box Library and SORA.
