As my first year in the library at St Matthew’s draws to a close, I am grateful for many things: a wonderful staff to work with, amazing students to teach and a lovely place to live, just to name a few! I am especially grateful for the wonderful ladies who have helped me out this year by covering books for the library. I want to say a special thank you to Pip Buining, Marlana Butters, Nijole Bentley, Sarah Grove, Megan Dunn, Tracy McKee and Julie Sartor who have spent many an hour covering all our new books. Thank you, ladies – you’ve helped to make my job much easier!

Thank you, also, to the families who supported our virtual Book Fair last week. Your support has enabled us to purchase some fantastic new books for our library. Thank you also to the Koznjak, Biehl, Sloan-Gardner, Fern and Marks families who donated books to our library. Hopefully, next year, we will be able to host the Book Fair at school.
