Borrowing:
The Bradbury Library is loaning Y2-Y6 5 books at a time. Please discuss this with your child. We do not want children carrying too many heavy books in their bags. Children do not have to borrow 5 books, they may choose how many they borrow. Y1 student now are borrowing 2 books.
Keep up with the NEWS!
Your turn parents!
Parents are welcome to borrow up to 10 books at a time for a month at a time from the library! Please come visit!
BOOK EXCHANGE IN THE LIBRARY!
Do your children have too many books on their shelves? Would you like to make room for new ones? Perhaps take time with your children to think about clearing out books they have grown out of or no longer enjoy, send your children to the library with the books to swap them!
Volunteers are still needed in Bradbury School Library:
The library needs numerous volunteers to support adding hundreds of new books to the library and additionally help shelving the 500 books per day that are returned by students and staff. We would appreciate support of volunteers who could provide 15-30 minutes of their time before or after they volunteer in the classroom in addition to volunteers who are willing to volunteer for 1-2 hours per day. We would provide volunteers with training and would appreciate any support provided. Thank you!
