This resulted in $244 worth of books being added to our College Library collections. It was wonderful to see the excited and smiling faces of children and parents once again entering the Book Fair realm.I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole of our Boronia K-12 College community in helping our College Library raise funds to purchase these new books, which will enable our staff, students and families to borrow and enjoy sharing the continued lifelong learning opportunities provided by reading.Reading for pleasure inside and outside of school has real and long-lasting benefits. It unlocks the power of information and imagination, increases literacy skills, and helps children discover who they are as well as the wider world around them. I hope this year has bought our students a wealth of enjoyment as they buried themselves within the Library stacks and the world of knowledge and inspiration reading books brings to their lifelong learning journey. As I now turn my attention to the annual Library Stocktake and preparing the Library in readiness for next year, I hope everyone enjoys the remaining days of the 2024 school year and has a relaxing and enjoyable summer break and I look forward to seeing your wonderful excited, smiling faces in the Library again in 2025.Mrs. Jenny YoungLibrarian
