Marrickville Library's Secret Garden Launch

On Tuesday our Library Monitors and I attended the launch of Marrickville Library's Secret Garden. The library staff made us feel very welcome and the children were able to meet Anthony Albanese, Member of Parliament for Grayndler. He spoke to the children and was impressed that they had submitted a written application to apply for the position of Library Monitor. He also told them how much he enjoyed reading and loved libraries.

After the garden was officially opened, the Children's Librarians told an engaging story about a punk to the children and Pauline from Year 2 was dressed up to look like a punk. She couldn't stop giggling!

Mrs Sandford was also able to join us and meet everyone. There was a sausage sizzle and other refreshments. Finally, the children were given temporary tattoos of dragons or fairies. A lovely morning was had by all!

There was an article in several local papers featuring our Year 2 student, Pauline. Click on the link to the Valley Times below and then click on the image titled 007.jpg.
