Here is a sneak peak to the questions you will have to answer on the form:

         I  can’t wait to become a Library Monitor because....

         Give a good example of when you were a responsible person...

         Are you the kind of person that keeps their room always tidy and organized? 

         If I was part of the library team I would be a superstar at:        
         (Choose 2 of the following jobs)

•       Shelving books

•       Organizing lunchtime events or activities in the library for example quizzes, origami,        book   club,etc…

Summer Holidays!!! Yahooo!

Goodbye 2010, hello 2011!!
What a great year of reading we've had here at Te Puke Primary School Library!

Gotta keep reading over the summer!  Did you know you can enrol your children with any of the Tauranga City Library branches in a fun and free summer reading program called ‘The Big Bush Read’ to keep reading levels up and rising?  Children read library books, tell library staff about their books, and receive a small prize!  Call 577 7220 or visit http://www.library.tauranga.govt.nz/kids for more info! (There is also a separate reading program for teens with free books and prizes!)

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful summer!
