Displays and other activities happening in the library

Premier's Reading Challenge
It is nearly holidays and it feels like that could be the perfect time to curl up with a good book! And, those books you read can all be counted for the Premier’s Reading Challenge. Please contact the library if you would like books sent out to read for the challenge.
The PRC form for your year level can be downloaded from the Library page on the OAC website. Go to Library Page
Completed forms need to be returned to the library by September.
