Library and Information Week recognises the services libraries provide to society and was celebrated nationally from 20 to 24 May. The theme was 'truth, integrity, knowledge', highlighting the ways libraries support these aspects in a society where information is easily created, distributed and accessed.
Library and Information Week 2019 at MLMC saw students coming together in McAuley Library to have some fun with library and literary-based word searches. Students expressed their creative talents making mini notebooks using techniques from origami and kirigami. Chess Club was popular, with students learning a new strategy followed by playing friendly chess matches.
Daily quiz questions and the regular lunchtime library quiz were popular activities. The topic for the latest lunchtime library quiz was Disney/Pixar movies. Eight teams participated and the two winning teams were The Incredibles and Tissue. The winners each received a Collins gift card.
Barak Library was the venue for a book chat hosted by the College's English Prefect, Meg Thompson (pictured below). The book chat provided students and staff with the opportunity to discuss books they have been reading and preview new library books.
Here Meg writes about the book chat:
It was great to see some of the younger students getting involved and discussing some of their favourite books. It was also great to see Mr Banfield discuss one of his favourite books.
