Book Week is a time to celebrate all things books and, more specifically, Australian authors and illustrators.

The theme this year was “Dreaming with eyes open”.

To celebrate, the Library team created a number of activities for students to enjoy throughout the week.

Students could join in the fun by:

(✓) Checking out the display in the library of the fantastic CBCA shortlisted books for Older Readers. There were multiple copies of these books available for students to borrow.

(✓) Entering our virtual Book in a Jar competition. Students were asked to guess which book was in the jar from just a few sentences. Every student who entered the competition was entered into a draw to win a prize.

(✓) Going on a Blind Date with a Book. Students were invited to go on a blind date with a book by choosing their perfect match from just a few small clues written on books covered with brown paper.

(✓)  Writing a Book Review. We asked students to tell us which books they love and why. Special review slips were available in the library and the reviews were put on display. Every student who submitted a review was entered into a draw to win a prize.

We hope all students found something to get involved in during Book Week and enjoyed dreaming with their eyes open.
