Library

Library

St Joachim's students are able to borrow books from our well-stocked Library.
We focus on enjoyment, imagination and information through fiction and non-fiction books.

Students from Foundation – Year 6 have rostered time to visit the library weekly.

It is vital that children return their book/s so they can borrow a new book.  Students will not be able to borrow if they have not returned their book/s.

The Library supports and extends the Units of Inquiry being studied in each year level.

Library Bags

For home borrowing purposes, children are encouraged to have a library bag (waterproof is preferable), labelled with both their first and last names and grade.

A Library Bag:

• Protects the book

• Ensures the library book is kept separate from household books when not in use, making them easier to find on Library Day

• Makes it easier for students to carry

• Most importantly protects library books from damage, especially leaking drink bottles

Waterproof Library bags are available from the Bounty Shop, however you may use any waterproof, protective bag, preferably around the size of a pillowcase to accommodate our larger books.

The Library is open, after school from 3:00pm - 3:15pm for borrowing (students in Years F - 4 need to bring a library bag to be able borrow).

During the year, the Library hosts a Book Fair and we encourage families to support this. Profits of the sales enables the school to purchase a significant amount of books.
