LIBRARY STOCKTAKE AND END OF YEAR DETAILS

The library is now CLOSED, including lunchtimes, until Tuesday 10th December, so that I can concentrate on doing the stocktake. During the stocktake I scan all the books that the library has in it. This helps to keep the catalogue information up to date, as well keeping an accurate number of books (stock) in the library. I also find out books that are missing and books that are damaged and then what needs to be reordered. 

ALL the library books need to be returned by the end of the day.

The return bin will be outside the library for any late returns and a couple of students will be going to classrooms to collect books as well. 

 

Any outstanding books at the end of the year will have to be paid for and an account will go home



Once I have finished the stocktake the library will open again to run the Summer Reading Programme. The programme helps to stop ‘the summer reading slide’ and continues to utilise the library books while the school is closed over the long summer break.


What is the Summer Reading Slide?

 

Studies show that the effect of the long summer break without reading books and listening to stories can make a significant difference to children’s reading achievements. This is known as the summer reading slide. The summer reading slide is well documented by research – unless students read regularly during the break, they fall behind about three months in their reading achievement.  The good news is that the latest research shows children who read at least four books over the summer maintain or even increase their skills.


How do I join the Summer Reading Programme?

  • You (child and parent/caregiver) sign a contract to promise to look after the books and return by the end of the first week of Term One, 2025.             Copies of the contract will be available in class, the library, attached to the newsletter or can be downloaded from the library page on the school webpage.
  • Your child/children must not have any outstanding books.
  • You may borrow up to eight books. 
  • You need to find a safe place in your house to keep them. You will be given a bag to help keep them together. You will also have a printed list of the books.
  • The library will be open extended hours before and after school so you can accompany your child/ren to share in book selection, contracts will be available to sign. Children can also go in class time in arrangement with their teacher (they need a form signed by a parent/caregiver).
  • The library will be open:-

Tuesday 10th December         8:30am – 5:00pm

Wednesday 11th December      8:30am – 4:30pm 

Thursday 12th December        8:30am – 5:00pm 

Friday 13th December           8:30am – 4:30pm 

Monday 16th December          8:30am – 4:30pm
