Silkwood State School prides itself on its large, well-equipped library serviced by a teacher-librarian. Our library is home to a large collection of children's literature, information books and teacher resources.
Weekly library borrowing is a valued process providing all students with the opportunity to develop literacy skills and very importantly, a love of literature. All classes have weekly timetabled borrowing times, however, all students can also borrow library books before school on Wednesdays and Thursdays if they wish. Parents are asked to supply their child with a waterproof library bag for borrowing.
Library Borrowing:
Wednesdays
Junior Class – 10.30am
Senior Class – 10.00am
All students are asked to bring a strong waterproof bag to protect their books.
