Library

Welcome back to Sunnyvale Library for 2012. My name is Mrs Murray and I have had the pleasure of being the Librarian at Sunnyvale School for 15 years. I hope I can encourage your child to love books and reading as much as I do.

The Library is open during lunchtimes and Student Librarians are on duty. Children may return or issue books, research for homework topics or just relax and read.

Classes visit the Library every week. Junior/Middle pupils may borrow one book at a time and Seniors may borrow two books. Books are issued for 2 weeks and may be returned to the Library at any time. Any books that are lost or damaged must be paid for.

Scholastic Books

A Scholastic leaflet will be sent home with your child twice a term. Scholastic Books have a huge range of reasonably priced books for Preschool to Intermediate reading age. If you wish to purchase any items please complete the order form and return to me by the due date (last day for orders will be in the School newsletter). Payment may be made by cash/cheque/visa or eftpos. Your child will usually receive their order within 4 days of the last order date.
