This week, Kate Parker shared an interesting quote about classic literature. It’s from a new ebook called Canon Reloaded by Jacqueline Grassmayr (2013) and reinforces the importance of holding a good number of worthy young adult books in our fiction collection. She wrote, “Readers should be able to relate to their ideas regardless at when they are written. In this way, through reading a selection of texts considered worthy, we can share common human experiences regardless of time.” So check out our latest purchases and donations on our Red Hot reading review blog & get reading and growing – You are what you read!

Donation of Aviation Reference Books
Gavin Broadbent donated some very valuable aviation reference books to our library last week. Gavin was a student here from 1984-86 and went on to become a commercial pilot for both Qantas and Virgin airlines. Future aviators will be looking for these covers on our new book display. Many thanks Gavin, we hope they inspire some of our students to follow in your footsteps.
