The year kicked off to a great start for the book club with
a great number of regular attendees both student and staff.<br />
Unfortunately due to other commitments and time issues we haven’t had as many
meetings as we’ve hoped for, but they still continue weekly in the school
library. When the club gets together we have a catch up, a wee something to eat
and talk about the latest books we are reading and suggest any books that
anyone might like to read, those suggestions go onto the school library blog (<a href="http://tokolibrary.blogspot.co.nz/">http://tokolibrary.blogspot.co.nz/</a>)
which I encourage students and parents to read.<br />
The book club will continue to run next year and I hope to see new and old
faces at the book club meeting in the starting of the school year, but for now
have a great holiday and do take advantage of the library reading programme,
RED Books.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On 21st of May, the Tokomairiro High School Library was visited by New Zealand author FiFi Colston. Fifi has had a varied career,but the over riding theme of her work has been creativity. From an early age she had a love of drawing and she followed this into a career in design, but over the years she has accepted many challenges working as a children's author, a poet, a television presenter, costume designer, wearable art maker . Currently her book on wearable art is a finalist in the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fifi spoke to 25 students from Year 7 to 13 and her main message was to work hard at what you love and take the opportunities life presents you .</span><br />

Hi Everybody welcome back to the 2014 school year.<br />
<br />
Hopefully you all had a good break<br />
<br />
<h4>
Library News</h4>
.Every student should now have access to the library catalogue on their own individual desk top..There should be an icon called Library Catalogue You can use this to search the library collection and see what is in and out.<br />
I hope to have set up the system so you can check your own borrowing and renew and reserve books. This will be in place by the end of Term One.<br />
<h4>
<b>What I read in the holidays:</b></h4>
I took the plunge and read Eleanor Catton's Booker Prize winning novel. The Luminaries. It is a fascinating story set on the West Coast ni the 1860' s and is full of intrigue and mystery. The characters and atmosphere are beautifully evoked.<br />
Eleanor Catton is a young New Zealander, who has managed to win the most prestigious prize in the literary worlds<br />

<span lang="EN-US">At the
moment I’m reading <b> 'The Drovers Quest" by Susan Brocker</b>. It’s a great read for
about twelve to thirteen year olds who are interested in historical books. It
is a New Zealand book based in Christchurch and the west coast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It is mainly
about a child whose’ dad went to the west coast on a drive and ended up staying
there to become a prospector to find some gold so he and his daughter can live
a life they never had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
