How to loan resources at the library:

When you have your student card you will be able to scan and loan out directly but until then- you are able to log in manually using your student code

At the self-loan kiosk in the library click: BORROW ITEMS / Manual Entry (or scan card)
Your name will come up in the top right-hand corner and then you'll be able to put the book down on the kiosk table and it will automatically loan it out to you- the title will then appear under your name.

Please let me know if you would like any help with loans, I'll be very happy to show you the system.

We will hold the event in Term 4 Week 1 (Friday 10th October) during lunchtime (13:20 – 14:20) on the Wood Bridge.

In preparation for this event start gathering your teams together and we will have multiple copies of the short stories text available as print to loan out for you to start reading soon. I am holding the event next term so that you can have the holiday period to read the short stories. You must sign up to enter and you can come up with a device for your team to sign into the Kahoot together.

The short stories are

The Opposite of Disappearing (p.10 Laura Norris)
Between Spaces (p.39 Sandy Bigna)
Uplifted (p.65 Frances Prentice)
Almost (p.86 Carla Fitzgerald)
The Dark Day (p.96 Peter Clarkson)
Wallpaper (p.129 R.A. Stephens)
Izzy’s Swing (p.136 Kate Gordon)

The stories are slightly shorter than last year so there are a few more 😊

Winners will have their names engraved on the Readers’ Cup Trophy.

I look forward to this great event and hope you all enjoy the short story selection and sign up to join us!
