May is always an exciting time in the Cedar Campus library. Under the umbrella of National Family Reading Month, there are three main events that are held to celebrate books and reading.

1. Scholastic Book Fair

1. National Simultaneous Storytime

1. Read More in May Challenge

The Scholastic Book Fair was held from Wednesday, 29 April - Monday, 5 May. There were many great bargains to be found with book variety packs ranging from $5.00 to $10.00. Once again, the posters and stationery were extremely popular with all the posters selling out. The most popular books were When Cucumber Lost His Cool, and Holey Moley Moley Guac-a-Moley! Both of these bright, colourful, and amusing picture books were under $10.00. A total of $2836 was raised, which provides the library with $850 of commission which has been taken as books from the fair.

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is on Wednesday, 21 May. Students in Foundation - Year 2 will all be reading the book The Truck Cat written by Deborah Frenkel and Illustrated by Danny Snell. This story about Yacoub, a truck driver, and his cat Tinka, is about cats and humans, immigration and identity, and homes lost and found. The students will be involved in literature and craft-based activities after reading the book.

The Read More in May Challenge is held each year by book publisher, Scholastic. Students are encouraged to read with their families for at least ten minutes each day and record their reading on a reading log. Each family participating can register their involvement and obtain a copy of the reading log to download from the National Family Reading Month website - https://scholastic.com.au/nfrm
