The Library team had a wonderful time visiting Port Dalrymple and South George Town Primary over the past few weeks, supporting The Smith Family’s Future Seekers program.
This valuable program involves Year 5 and 6 students in exploring future career options, and gaining insight into the range of pathways available to them.

It’s wonderful to be a part of this program alongside other local organisations.

This year’s Premier’s Reading Challenge is off and running at schools around the state!

Why not visit your local library to find a new read to add to your reading tally? Libraries Tasmania has a large collection of books for children and young people:

📚 For children who are learning to read independently, check out early readers. They feature simple vocabulary and repetitive text.

🕵️ For curious kids, try borrowing a Little Explorers book pack. These packs contain five carefully selected books on an early learning topic for children aged 4–8 years.

🖥️ The eLibrary has lots of junior stories on Libby and BorrowBox. Families can also explore StoryBox, where you can watch expert Australian storytellers read diverse and inclusive stories.

🔎 If your little one has a favourite book, you don’t have to spend time searching for similar titles. Simply hop onto our catalogue and check out the “You may also like” tab – you’ll find great suggestions with similar themes and styles.

📖 If your young reader isn't sure what to read next, check out Good Reading for Kids: https://bit.ly/3SdMqNt

The Australian Government is introducing a new emergency warning system later this year called AusAlert.

AusAlert uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices during local and national disasters.

These messages aim to keep communities informed so they can take action, saving lives and property.

In the lead up to AusAlert being used, there will be some testing of the system during June and July.

A regional test is happening in the Launceston area on 15 June, followed by a national test on 27 July.

For more information and resources, visit www.ausalert.gov.au.
