Scholastic Book Club
Please remember that all your orders for books from the Scholastic Catalog should be in by Monday, October 24th.
School Photos: (2009 to 2011)
School Photos taken from 2009-2011 are now shelved in the library. They
have been clearly marked according to event and date. Faculty, parents
and students may order photos from the school photographer by sending him an email at [email protected],
quoting the number of the photos you would like. Or, simply ask your
librarian to help you find the photos you want to order.
New EFL/Beginning to Read Section
A new section has been added to the library to cater particularly to
students whose first language is not English as well as students who are
beginning to read and those who are improving their reading skills. The
reluctant reader may also find his way to books by beginning in this
section. The books are graded from Levels 1–4. Please remind your
students/children to use these books to improve their reading skills.
The librarians are always at hand to help them choose the right book.
A Good Read
We know that you are all very busy juggling work and family life.
However, most of you, I’m sure, still enjoy getting lost in a book from
time to time. You may not have the time to go through all the books in
the fiction section in the Pinewood Library to look for a good read. So,
with this in mind, we are busy creating a section especially for you.
In order to be shelved in this section, the book should be one you have
read or would like to read.
Some of the titles already in this section are popular and controversial books such as: The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.
In order to build up this section and make it popular with parents and
staff, we would really appreciate book donations/loans from members of
staff and parents. We are looking particularly for contemporary fiction.
Even if you don’t want to part with a book permanently, why not lend it
to the library for a year? If it is lost, it will be replaced.
Books should be in English.
