WELCOME 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!
Mother Tongue Language Guest Readers:
We really enjoyed welcoming parent and staff guest readers last year to Bradbury Library. Parents and staff members shared a book in their Mother Tongue. We will continue welcoming parents and staff to visit the library on Wednesdays during Y1-3 and Y4-6 lunch times to read books aloud in their mother-tongue. Please email me to book a time and indicate your interest: librarian@bs.esf.edu.hk Remember that you are welcome to bring your own books to share or use library mother tongue language books as available.
Volunteers are needed NOW in Bradbury School Library:
We're open now for volunteers.
Official volunteer working tea will be on September 1st, Library Volunteer Working Tea, 8-12, please email if you are able to help during this time, it is not necessary to stay for four hours. librarian@bs.esf.edu.hk
The library needs numerous volunteers to support adding hundreds of new books to the library and additionally help shelving the 300 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!
