Our Library Club
monitors made up of senior students contribute their time to help our library
run smoothly. In addition, we always welcome parent volunteers if you are interested in
helping out, even if just for a short time.
The
library is also home to a class set of Sphero SPRKSs used to teach some basic
block coding to the upper intermediate students who then share their knowledge
with other classrooms.

Library please visit Mme Renzullo's blog: https://hastingslibrary.wordpress.com/
