Back to School 2014

Image from My Cute Graphics

Welcome back to school for 2014. I hope you had a great time over the holidays and did some fun stuff. I also hope you had time to read some good books - if you think any would be great books to add to our library then please add a sticky note to the Book Wishlist 2014 or come and visit me in the library. 

This week in the library I'm updating the classroom lists and adding new students to the library database so that you're all in your correct classroom for 2014.

Next week things should be getting back to normal, with new books on display and the library will be open for classroom visits and also at lunchtimes.

See you soon.
