We feel honoured to have been Library Co-Captains. We were privileged to be a part of the incredible Barbreck Library team. This commitment has provided us with many opportunities and responsibilities including our weekly Library Updates during Assembly and helping students with their book queries. It was very rewarding encouraging others to embrace and develop their love of reading. An enjoyable aspect of being a Library Captain is working with the new Library Monitors to learn the role. We loved supporting Mrs Requin and ensuring the Library runs well, remains tidy, and is an exciting place to visit. Wearing our Library Captaincy badges is something we both hold with pride.

Alexia Chatfield and Olivia Batt Barbreck Library Co-Captains, 2022

The major event of the year for our Barbreck Library is the CBCA Book Week. It was celebrated in Term 3 with the theme: “Dreaming With Eyes Open...” The students were excited as the Library hosted Lamont Book Fair for the first time in three years. The Fair was a great community event allowing families to visit the Library, check out new books and share a love of reading. During Book Week students also participated in the interactive performance of Story Quest, showcasing books featured from this year’s CBCA Shortlist. Story Quest was an engaging, original narrative filled with music, adventure, and intrigue. We finished the week with a parade of Book Week costumes and everyone enjoying the colour, enthusiasm, and creativity.
