Visiting Libraries...

The Library Focus went for a library crawl and visited five libraries.  We visited the library spaces at Halswell School and Heaton Intermediate.  Then we visited the South Learning Centre, Kaiapoi Community Library and Aranui Community Library.

At each library we observed how adults and children were using the library spaces and what activities they were doing.  We also looked at furniture, shelving and how different spaces were created within spaces.

This visit will help us all design a library environment that suits our learners.
















New Books in the Library...

Have you read any of these new books at the QE2 Base library?
