Welcome to Term 4, the librarians have created a new display to encourage Good Shepherd Students to read. We are very excited about this term because we are about to get our new Scholastic books from our Book Fair. Come to the library and read some fantastic books today!

Carson's Book Review

This book is a good book for ages 8 and up. It is a funny comic book and it has flipparama, which is when you flip the pages really quickly, it looks like a moving cartoon. It has futuristic time travel in it and lots of action. You should read this book because I know you will enjoy it. You can find it in Senior Fiction, B section in our school library.

National Poetry Day

Last Friday was National Poetry Day and the Library celebrated by having an open mic, where students and teachers read their favorite poems or poems they had written. It was a huge success with the whole library filled up with mostly seniors and some juniors. What a great day!

Mr Stink

Mr Stink by David Walliams

This book is about a girl and she sees a man on the bench and everyone calls him Mr Stink. She thinks that he is really interesting and always wondered what he did in the past. One day she talks to him and he asks her if she can bring him some food. She brings him food and then she does it daily. It's a fantastic page turner because you see how two strangers become good friends.

Book Review By Lucas

Father Christmas, The Naked Truth by Knife & Packer. I recommend this book because it is really funny. It tells you a different story of Father Christmas, one that you wouldn't expect. It is a fantastic chapter book with lots of pictures like a comic book. This book would be suitable for ages year 4 and up and for people who like cartoons.
