This year the Library added Year 5 Hi Five Day in addition to the Year 7 Discovery Day. These days are both designed to welcome students to Library services and spaces and start these intake years with a clear imperative about reading. The days involve rotating students through a series of activities. The Year 5 Hi Five Day involves 130 students. The Year 7 Discovery Day has half the cohort – 120 students on one day, and the other 120 students on the next day. These days emphasize the 2 goals:
*Visiting the Library should be an experience
*Library builds community
