LRC Newsletter: Term 4, 2020: Newsletter 2

A fortnightly newsletter highlighting new resources and services from the LRC Team.

Check out our Street Library

The Sion Street Library is open for business. Students can take the books that are inside, and they don't need to return them!

The idea of the street library is to share the love of reading by allowing people to take and replace the books; after a while the street library takes on a life of it's own. Check out our street library!
