ALL PUPILS: LIBRARY BOOK AMNESTY - JUNE 2025
Published: Mon 2 Jun 2025

The library currently has a large number of books overdue. These books have been borrowed but not yet returned. We are hoping to get as many back as possible and need everyone's help.

Please check in classrooms, bags, and at home for any library books. They are usually easy to spot as they typically have labels on their spine, are wrapped in a plastic covering, and have a barcode and stamp on the first pages of the book. 

Every book that gets returned to the library from now until June 23rd will equal one entry into a prize draw. The draw will take place on 24 June 2025 with the winner receiving a goodie bag of prizes before the summer holidays. 

Good luck and happy hunting!
