Library

                                                                                       

 

The MARC LIBRARY VAN services six small schools in the Warrnambool area.  The participating schools include Panmure, Cudgee, Grasmere, Noorat, Nullawarre, and Woolsthorpe.   The MARC library provides a range of resources to approximately 320 students and 25 teaching staff across the six schools.     

 

 

The MARC LIBRARY VAN is at Panmure Primary School on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon, and for a two-hour session on a Wednesday morning.  Mrs Christine Howlett is responsible for the delivery of a rich and engaging MARC Library Program during these library sessions. The students have a borrowing session on a weekly basis and are given the opportunity to borrow a range of new release books and quality reading material from the MARC van.
