Library

our library door

Casula Public School has a very well equipped and resourced Library. It is a place where all students can go to read, learn, research and use technology. With hundreds of books and over 15 networked computers we are sure you will always find what you are looking for - where you are always welcome.

Library open times

 

Students can visit the Library for returning and borrowing every morning before school except Friday. Parents are welcome to come in and share a story with your child/children before the school day.

 

Class visits

 

All classes visit the library once a week for Library lessons.

 

Borrowing

 

Children from Kinder may borrow 2 books each time they visit the library.

 

Year 1 & Year 2 may borrow 2-3 books each time.

 

Children from Year 3 & Year 4 may borrow 3-4 books at a time.

 

Year 5 & Year 6 students may borrow up to 4-5 books on each occasion.

 

(Students must return books before new ones can be loaned.)

All students are encouraged to select a suitable book themselves that is of interest to them. This develops independence. All students can choose from the Fiction and Non-fiction sections of our Library.

 

Lunchtime for students

 

We are open Monday and Wednesday lunchtimes for students to come and use the computers, play a variety of games, puzzles, colour in or snuggle up with a book on the ottomans.

We are also open Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes for SWOT (Students without technology). Students without access to computers or Internet at home can come into the library to complete homework and research projects.
