It’s no secret that regular reading has stacks of benefits for your child’s growing mind: development of literacy, imagination, focus, social and communication skills just to name a few. Your child will be carrying books home constantly – that’s where a great kids’ library bag comes in.

A dedicated library bag or satchel keeps your child’s borrowed reads safe and separate from their other belongings whilst travelling to and from school – it’s an important item in their school bag! A library bag needs to be hard-wearing, so seek out something well made with strong materials, as well as one that is waterproof. This helps to keep books protected from drink bottles and food items in school bags.

If your child does not already own a library bag, please purchase one asap. Waterproof library bags can be purchased from shops such as Officeworks (see here), Best & Less (see here), or Kmart (see here). You can also order personalised ones from various online stores.

Thank you for helping to ensure your child has their named library bag ready for each library lesson!

Thank you!
