Library

Welcome to the Library! 

The library at Hornsby South is an exciting and busy place, connecting students to quality literature and resources. Our wonderful librarians this year are Mrs Leung (Monday and Tuesday) and Mrs Gilfillan (Wednesday- Friday). 

The library program aims to promote a love of literature and reading and to develop a community of critical thinkers who can use the Information Skills Process of Defining, Locating, Selecting, Organising, Presenting and Assessing effectively. Students must bring a library bag along if they would like to borrow a book during their library session.

The library is also a wonderful place for students to meet their friends during lunchtime. From Monday to Thursday at first lunch, Students can return and borrow books or choose to quietly read under the library tree or play on the Lego wall. 

Our teacher librarians will also be organising the Book Fair and Children’s Book Week activities, so keep an eye out for these special events!

Book club 

Book Club gives parents and children a convenient way to purchase affordable, age-appropriate books to bridge the class-to-home reading connection and keep the reading momentum rolling in our school. Each Book Club purchase enables the library to fundraise by accruing rewards points that are often used to acquire new resources for our school library.
