Library Council

I was approached by a group of girls late in Term Two to start a library council.

The girls:
Cassia, Anna, Kate, Thea, Isla, Sam , Madilyn and Anab

Term Three the girls co ordinated and ran a highly successful Harry Potter week in the library at lunchtime.

Term Four the girls are developing videos around the library.  They will be writing their own scripts and filming.  They can use actors or do the video themselves.  These videos will be used for the following year to show new librarians.
