Our library is a vibrant and welcoming space at the heart of Kalinda Primary School, designed to foster a lifelong love of reading, storytelling, and learning. It is a place where curiosity is encouraged, imagination is nurtured, and students are supported to explore a wide range of literature and information.

Each class visits the library once a week with their classroom teacher for a dedicated library session. These sessions focus on building reading skills, discovering new authors and genres, and developing information literacy in a supportive and engaging environment.

The library is proudly led by Martina, our dedicated librarian, who works closely with both students and staff to support literacy across all year levels. A team of senior students are also selected each year to serve as Library Leaders, taking on responsibilities such as organising books, assisting younger students, and promoting a love of reading throughout the school community.

One of the unique features of our library is its beautiful Japanese garden, a peaceful outdoor space where students are welcome to sit and enjoy a book in a quiet, natural setting. This special area also reflects our school’s commitment to learning Japanese as an additional language, providing a meaningful connection between cultural appreciation, language, and literacy.

At Kalinda, we believe the library is more than just a place to borrow books - it's a dynamic learning hub that inspires curiosity, connection, and a love of learning.
