New Books in the Library

Let’s Explore Pluto and other Dwarf Planets

In 2006 astronomers decided that Pluto is too small to be considered a planet, so Pluto is now called a Dwarf Planet.  To find out more look in the series Blast off! – these are great new books about our Solar System.  These are located in the Non-Fiction area of the library under the Dewey number 523.

 

Girlz Rock! Skater Chicks

The boys have had Boyz Rule! books for some time, so now its time for the series Girlz Rock!  These are great stories which you can read with a friend.  Look out for more of the Girlz Rock stories located in the Fiction end of the library in the Junior Chapter book area.

In Our Library

The Girl’s Corner was set up to give the girls a special area which has a great range of novels and magazines.  Fairy books have been very popular over the past few months.

 

The Boy’s Corner is a popular spot.  There is a range of books and magazines to interest boys with topics such as motorbikes, surfing, sports, farm machinery, cars and trucks.

 


Sophisticated picture books are located in the fiction area of the library and are picture books with themes more suitable for older students.  Graphic novels (comic/cartoon books) and puzzle books are also located here.

 

Check out the wonderful portraits by ‘famous’ artists displayed in our school library.

The New Book Stand with Bart Simpson sign points the way to a range of new books on display.  It’s a great place to view the new books coming into the library.
