Library Leaders
The Primary Library has recently created a program called Library Leaders. Over the past two weeks, 48 children from across elementary school have gone through a selection process that includes presenting ideas and suggestions for activities, contests, and library improvements, as well as demonstrating their knowledge of the library, rules, and other details.  We are delighted to announce that 17 students have been selected and will work together under the guidance of Teacher Adi. In the following presentation, you will find information about who the 2025 Library Leaders are and what their role entails.  Thank you to everyone who applied; your ideas will also be considered, and congratulations to those selected!
 
We would also like to take this opportunity to ask all elementary school students who have books to return to please return them to the library as soon as possible, before the mid-year break.
