What’s your Secret Power?

Book Week 2019: Reading is my Secret Power was celebrated from 17th to the 23rd of August. This year the Library Sleuths went on a mission to investigate the secret powers of our library patrons and the staff and students of Balaklava High School (BHS). We uncovered some hidden talents such as tap dancing and some super powers such as flying and talking under water.

During the week we had a WANTED board set up, mysterious footprints around the library, Mystery Books to borrow, a special Book Week themed Books & Beats, and posters of the BHS Secret Agents secret powers for students of BHS to guess which staff member matched which secret power.

On Thursday 22nd August we held our annual Book Week Morning Tea for the staff of BHS. We also had a couple of Superheroes rock up to share in some cake and a coffee. We had a super week!

Science Week

Destination Moon

We love Science Week and were over the moon to celebrate it this year at the Library. This year Science Week was from the 10th to the 18th of August. We set up a display of the different stages of the moon, and hung a universe from our ceiling. We made it clear to our patrons that ‘reading is elemental’, we had a Science Week themed Books & Beats, and had science experiments set up all week for community and BHS students to enjoy. We also invited Balaklava Community Children’s Centre Kindy students to come along and try out the experiments. We had a BLAST!
