Birrong Girls High School Library!

I’m the Teacher Librarian, Mr Davidson.

I teach information literacy and narrative structure.

Through the year I will tell stories, test the way you learn, and help you borrow books.

Let’s start by seeing how carefully you listen.

Remember last year when you were boss of the pool? Now you are down the bottom of the ladder again.

Do you remember your last school library? Did you have a teacher librarian?

Now we will look at some photos from around Birrong Girls High School.

Where is the Library?
