May is jam-packed with activities to promote reading with students across the school.   It has been fabulous to see an increasing number of students coming to the Library to read books and listen to audio stories.

We have had an amazing donation of books, most of which were Geronimo Stilton stories.  The Geronimo Stilton series is a very popular series of books, and these new titles have made a very welcome addition to our collection –Thank you so much!
