Lunchtime Librarian of the Term

Term One Kelsey Coronno For reliability and hardwork with a smile.

Term Two Michael Ball Michael Ball has been a very dedicated librarian this term. He is pleasant and helpful towards all the students and has a broad knowledge of both our fiction and non fiction books. I am sure some of his enthusiasm for books and reading has been passed on to other students. Well done
