The Arthur Holt Library is debuting the International Fiction Section this week. You will find it at the foot of the stairs, right next to humour.

The collection includes Greek, Tamil, French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, and German to name just a few. All reading levels are catered for from the very-basic to super-fluent. The Arthur Holt staff welcome any suggestions as to how this may be expanded to best serve the needs of our school community.
