Welcome to 2012

Welcome back to the Hurstville South Public School Library blog :-)
I hope you have had a relaxing holiday and are looking forward to the new school year!
I have had a low key holiday, staying at home or doing day trips to visit friends, go to the movies or shop. My house is a little more organised and I've had time to read a book or two - hope you have too!

With just 2 weeks before school starts back, I have started collecting resources for our first term units and begun thinking about how we will celebrate the National Year of Reading. I have created a wiki page where I hope to gather some great resources. If you find anything you think will help us celebrate, then leave a comment or come and chat to me when school goes back- I'm in the library Monday to Thursday.

One resource that you may enjoy and help other with is we give books. This website lets you read an ebook and then your act of reading enables a child somewhere in the world receive a free book! Check out the website to find out more - it doesn't cost anything to you :-)

Enjoy the rest of your holidays,
Try and read another book or two,
Happy Holidays!
Mrs Blake
