The new
EDFAA library
and the
Graduate School of Education at UWA
joined forces in August to host National Year of Reading 2012 events to celebrate the joy of reading.
Eighteen preservice teachers from the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Programs volunteered to read a range of stories to children from Hollywood Primary School and Moerlina School.
The students visited our EDFAA Library for the hour long events on three days. The Principal of Hollywood Primary School, Beverly Innes, said, ‘Each student got something unique out of the sessions, and could not stop chatting about books all the way back to school! It was exciting to visit the beautiful library.’
The National Year of Reading 2012 is an initiative of Australian libraries and library associations and ‘helps people discover and rediscover the magic of books’ and encourages Australia to become a nation of readers. (See www.love2read.org.au/about-us.cfm)
