LIBRARY
We enjoy a beautiful and well-resourced library at MISOTA. When our students are in town they can come in browse and select their next read! Our Library uses an online library system called OLIVER V5. OLIVER allows students/families to login, look at, and request to borrow our library resources from near or afar. Books borrowed by students are popped in their pigeonholes ready for postage or collection. When the children have finished their books they can drop them back into the school or return via post.
Currently students and teachers also have access to the Department of Education's eBooks Digital Library (Sora) which offers access to over 1000 000 eBooks, audiobooks, read -along books and magazines. Sora has surpassed 100 million digital books accessed since its launch.
Our Library is divided into broad areas:
• Fiction, Junior Fiction, Easy Fiction, Senior Fiction
• Non-Fiction, Junior Non-Fiction
• Teacher Reference (available for borrowing by parents or governesses to support them in their role of teaching)
• Reference, PLO & Big Books
The Library also supplies support materials including:
• Textbooks (e.g. World Atlas, Dictionaries, Thesaurus texts)
• Basic Sports Kits
• Specialised Sports Kits
• Games and Puzzles
• Scholastic Book Club throughout the year and at Book Fairs during Minischools.
• Participation in Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week, National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) and The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) with Library themed competitions.
We look forward to all our students utilising our wonderful library.
