Library News Our current library system (OASIS) is being replaced by a totally new package called Oliver. Various members of staff have been undergoing training to gain knowledge of this new system. Today our old system will cease, but the new model will not start until Tuesday of Week 1, Term 4. Unfortunately this means that there will be some in-terruptions to the returning and borrowing of books during Library classes. As soon as the new system is up and going, normal borrowing will recommence. Our apologies for these interruptions to regular library classes, but hopefully things will be run-ning smoothly, once this changeover has occurred.
