Libraries are a place of adventure, providing opportunities for people to seek and locate information, browse collections, develop knowledge, share ideas and engage in a variety of fun activities. Libraries consist of physical and digital spaces where people can connect with ideas, information and other members of the community. At libraries, people can remember and learn more about the past and also dream and develop their skills for the future.
As part of Library and Information Week 2021, from 17-23 May, MLMC library has hosted a range of activities for students to experience adventures in space and time — the theme for this year. Regular weekly library activities included students meeting for Chess Club, Puzzle Cube Club and Book Club. In addition, students were also able to participate in a library careers session, a pop-up library, Star Wars quiz and a bookmark making competition.
The week was busy, with many classes utilising library resources, programs and services. These classes included Year 7 Science energy research tasks, Year 8 Humanities Renaissance research tasks, Year 7 to 10 English wider reading classes, VCAL Literacy classes, LOTE small group language activities, a Swinburne University Careers information session, Year 9 STEM research, Year 11 Psychology classes and Year 12 English Language classes.
Library and Information Week 2021 activities have inspired many adventures in space and time for students and staff at MLMC.
