Library

"Wow!" is the most common word we hear from visitors when they walk into our beautiful library.  It is full of eye catching displays and has an extensive range of books for all ages and interests.  Our school librarian Linda Kirkland is also a trained teacher and is able to maximise the love of reading and learning to its fullest potential.  If you ever want to know anything about books or want to try a new one...see Mrs Kirkland!

At Greytown school we agree with Walt Disney and Doctor Seuss...

"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island.  Best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life!"

                          "The more that you read, the more things that you know.                          The more things that you know, the more places you'll go"

                                  "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,                                   to pick up a book and read to a child"

As a result we take tremendous pride in ensuring our library has an extensive stock of books, which is continually updated.  Click here to check out the Greytown School library Catalogue.  

Our library is also supported by in class reading; which has well resourced daily readers, class chapter books, class library corners and access to a variety of e-books on school ipads.  

Children have regular sessions in the library with their class, however we encourage them to pop in and out throughout the learning times and break times whenever they would like. It is fantastic to see children curling up in a corner with a good book either by themselves or with a small group of friends; for pure enjoyment or to extend their learning.

At Greytown School children are activley encouraged to have a current library book available to read at all times and we ask parents/family to support us in encouraging our children to read regularly and look after their books on loan.  We understand that overtime books that are well read will be damaged and we will replace them, however please understand that any purposeful damage and lost books will be charged to the family in order to maintain our book collection for all.
