This week in the library we have been showcasing a new mini display of LitRPG books. What are these you may ask?

LitRPGs are literary role-playing games – a sub genre of science fiction and fantasy, written in a video game style. Check out some of the titles in the library today.

We have received delivery of the Children’s Book Council of Australia, 2023 Book of the Year Award Winners (and Honours List) in the older age category. Titles include: Neverlanders by Tom Taylor, Completely Normal (and Other Lies) by Biffy James and The Other Side of Tomorrow by Hayley Lawrence. Reserve your copy today.

Stuck for something to read? As usual, we have a fresh collection of newly acquired Fiction and Non-Fiction titles which are on display in our collection.

Our Minecraft club continues to hum along, with new members adding to the conversation. It is wonderful to see all of the different builds going on and listen to the students’ swapping tips or creating challenges for one another. In the main library, other games continue to create a lovely atmosphere. A highlight this week was an incredible Jenga tower that seemed to defy physics (and a wobbly table) to stay upright!
