Looking for a new book or a few new books to read over the holidays, but don’t want to fill your luggage with heavy books?

Check out Overdrive, our e-book library! Overdrive gives you access to hundreds of e-books and audio books for free. You can access these books either through our Overdrive website (http://shrewsbury.lib.overdrive.com) or the Overdrive app (more information about the app is available here: http://omc.overdrive.com/).

All students from Y7 through Y13, as well as faculty and staff, have access to our collection. If you need your username or password, please email Ms Beeman or stop by the library and ask any of the library staff.

The library will be open twice over the term break:

8:30am to 11:30am on Wednesday, 18th December

8:30am to 11:30am on Thursday, 26th December

Stop by to check out a new book, relax for a bit in the rabbit hole, or just  say hello! We would love to see you.

Happy Holidays!

This week, the library held a pizza party to thank the junior and senior library monitors for all of their hard work during Term 1. The library monitors gave up their free time over break and lunch during Term 1 to shelve books, work on special library projects, help their fellow students find books, and generally keep the library humming. We celebrated with pizza, cake, prizes, and a rousing game of musical chairs.

The library was decorated especially for the party:

The library monitors all received certificates of achievement for their contributions to the library this term:

We even had a game of musical chairs:

Special thanks to all of the library assistants, who worked so hard to plan the party! And thank you, too, to all of our library monitors. We are looking forward to another great term when we get back from break!
