Student Library Assistants |
|
Words. Podcast Club is a space where students become interviewers! We invite guests to share insights on life, books, and reading habits, while also hosting booktalks where students discuss books they’ve read. It’s all about great conversations, new perspectives, and a love for reading! |
In ReadWave Club, we explore book-related tools like Goodreads, dive into magazines, podcasts, and quizzes, and share interesting things we’ve read, seen, or listened to throughout the week. It’s a fun and engaging space to discover new ideas, learn together, and make reading even more exciting! |
Our Student Library Assistants have been actively preparing creative book displays, enhancing the Global Tales guide, and assisting with various daily library tasks. They play a valuable role in supporting our librarians, and we are so thankful for their hard work and dedication. |
