New blog: The Reader’s Nook
I tend to read a lot of fiction that our Library doesn’t have a copy of, so I feel that I can’t review these on the Library blog. Therefore I’ve decided to start up a new blog called The Reader’s Nook which you’re more than welcome to have a look at. I also cover more adult fiction in that blog, rather than just young adult fiction, including historical fiction, literature, mainstream and chick lit.
I’m hoping, if I get a big enough following, to introduce competitions in the future and make this an ongoing thing.

Winter is upon us
Well, we can’t deny it any longer. Winter has arrived and the cold weather has kicked in already. I hate to see what it will be like in the middle of winter when the weather is this cold already. So to go with the wintery weather I’ve changed the layout of this blog to a wintery blue colour. I hope you guys like it.
And what else is better to do in winter than to curl up in front of the fire or under a doona with a great book & some coffee or hot chocolate? The Library just got in a whole heap of new books for you to check out and there’s plenty of great books on our shelves too. The following are just a few different books the Library has to offer.

Premier’s Reading Challenge
We’re now ready to go with the Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2009. You maybe remember my post from earlier letting you know the school would be running the challenge.
Those who are interested in participating should collect their permission slip from the library and then return it as soon as they can. Myself or Mrs Stanislawski will be able to help you set up and account, and then you’ll be ready to start reading your 15 books.
To find out which books are part of the challenge you can use the search monitors. You just need to type in ‘Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge Year 7-8′ or ‘Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge Year 9-10′ and a list of books will come up for your particular year level. You may also browse the shelves and see the books that are part of the challenge have a sticker on them. There is an orange sticker for those in year 7-8 and a blue sticker for those in year 9-10.
Good luck and happy reading!

Vic Premier’s Reading Challenge
Years 7-10 students!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read 15 books. No it’s not mission impossible! You have until August to complete your mission. In return will receive a certificate from the Premier of Victoria, John Brumby and of course you will get to read some fantastic books!
There is a list of books in the Library, of which you must read at least 10 of (or 5 if you’re in year 10) and then the rest of the books can be of your choosing. Or for an easier way of choosing books, just browse the shelves for books with the Reading Challenge stickers on them. There are different stickers for the different age groups so if you’re in years 7-8 you should look out for the orange stickers and if you’re in years 9-10 you should look out for the round blue stickers.
Also if you’re planning on getting involved in the MS Readathon, you can add these books to your Premier’s Reading Challenge tally.
See the Library staff for more information!
