Normal school library rules to apply next term

Students at Empire Bay Public School have been told that normal school library rules will apply next term.

"This term I have been very lenient with loan limits and loan periods to ensure students don't miss the opportunity to borrow," said school librarian Ms Jenny Chippendale.

"But next term normal rules will apply, ie two-week borrowing period.

"Students have been keeping me busy with their book requests and eager borrowing.

"I will be sending home reminder notices regarding overdue loans."

Ms Chippendale said the Premier's Reading Challenge had been changed this year.

"In brief Year 3-6 students can read 10 choice books instead of the usual five.

"They can include collaborative reads an online read alouds, instead of having to read all books independently.

"There are no significant changes for K-2 as their records are managed at school."
