Library signage...Front Facing Non-Fiction...

At Rāwhiti School all of our collection is front-facing.  Our non-fiction is organised under broad themes/concepts.  We put stickers on the top right of our non-fiction books that match our theme.  This is replicated in our Junior non-fiction area - Take motuhake tamariki.  These are often books that have bigger text or suit our junior students.

The signage on the library shelving is now complete.  Groups of students in Ata Hāpara, Tāne Mahuta and Tāwhirimātea were responsible for the artworks that made the signage for the Older Picture book area, non-fiction area and fiction area.

It’s very rare to walk into a library space and find signage created by using student’s drawings.

The Junior-non-Fiction Area – Take motuhake tamariki has been revived!  This is a popular area for the junior students at our school.  Students from Rongo mā tāne and Papatūānuku helped to draw all the wonderful pictures that were used to make the colourful signage.

We have purchased many new and exciting books!
