We
understand that parents’ have concerns regarding this Easters school holiday activities and have attempted to address some of those concerns within this blog.
During the renovations the building was
required to meet all the standards for OHS . We have specifically created rooms in the
building for children’s activities ensuring any sharp edges are covered, power
outlets have covers and will not allow small fingers to be poked into
them. Tables and chairs in the children’s
area have been purchased for durability and stability in mind.
In regard
to the activities planned for this Easter school holidays, during the face
painting activity we will be using “Kryolan” face paint. For those concerned
parents their website is:
Parents are welcome during the movie activity, but if they
are not able to or wish to stay, they can be assured that the children will be
monitored at all times, with one or more librarians in the room throughout the movie.
The numbers for each activity are restricted due to the “staff
to child ratio”, which is why parents are requested to book their place, to
avoid being disappointed.
A new bonus to being in our newly renovated building, is
that we were able to address and fix some OHS issues that we had previously. One of those was that we ensured that all our
new computers in our building were connected to power points that were surge
protected.
A few Tips for using the library computers for staff and
patrons:
- Ensure you take regular exercise away from your computer
- Make sure that you sit correctly at the workstation
- Ensure that the lighting is bright enough for you, so that you reduce the risk of eye strain
If you should have any concerns, please address them to the Manager, Lara Cole or the Senior Librarian Cathryn
Lee-Maddison.
