Sea Eagles read!

Next Tuesday 7th February at 2pm, come to the Library to hear about what Sea Eagles read! Young players from Manly-Warringah are coming to the Library to meet people and promote reading.

The Sea Eagles have a great program called 'Sea Eagles Reads' http://www.seaeagles.com.au/default.aspx?s=community-sea-eagles-read where First Grade Rugby League players act as mentors and tutors in weekly reading sessions in primary Schools. Players are identified as Reading Captains and are matched to one class of students for a term where they bring a new surprise player each week and participate in reading sessions, reading activities, promote reading, set challenges and answer questions about their own reading habits.

We are very grateful for this wonderful opportunity to hear the Sea Eagles talk about the importance of reading. These young men are great role models for our community.
