LIBRARY CLOSED NEXT WEEK

The Library will be closed next week (last week of Term 2)  as I will be on sick leave. Students need to get their books out for the holidays THIS week. Otherwise they need to see their classroom teacher to make arrangements for changing books.

Book Club issue 4 closes on THURSDAY 30 June. I will arrange for Dot to make sure Book Club orders go to classes if they arrive next week.

Lots of new books coming into Library at present, thanks to the grant from McCarthy Trust!.

Book Club issue 3 was processed last week and should be arriving at school any day.

Library will be closed 7 to 9 June as I will be away.

LIBRARY COMPETITION!

I would like to encourage students at Tawa School to contribute work to a new journal for young writers and artists.

TOITOI magazine.

http://www.toitoi.nz/   

They can submit a story, a poem a picture or all of these things!

The closing date for the next Journal is 8 July. 

You can email entries via the website. Note that a teacher or parent needs to approve the entry.

  Please send the hard copies of any work done to the library for display and I will have some prizes for my favourite entries from each syndicate. BY FRIDAY 24 JUNE please

There is a copy of the journal in the school library and you are welcome to come and look at it.

 SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUB Issue 1: deadline for orders  has been extended to Thursday 17 March.  This is because Scholastic is experiencing teething problems with their new computer system and have a huge backlog of orders.  To make things easier for them I will delay ordering until on or after 17 March. If you have an URGENT order, please let me know.
Remember you can now order and pay online. Just go to:

Please note: there will be no ISSUE 2.  Scholastic has decided to skip an issue to give them time to overcome the problems.
