Our Primary Library has some wonderful resources available to our students and one of these are Playaways. These are small devices that have a pre-recorded story, book, song or other fun things sort of like an MP3 player. Your first grader will be allowed to begin checking out one of those when they visit the library right after the Winter Break. Mr. Palmer will talk to the students about taking care of them and returning them in good shape at that time. Please note that these are just like a book (fiction or non-fiction) and the students are responsible for each item they check out. These Playaways cost between $60-$120 Singapore Dollars. If one is lost or seriously damaged, your child would be held accountable. If you do not want your child to check these out, then as a parent, you should talk to your child and make that clear to them. Otherwise, they will have the option to check one out in January. The library will not be able to keep track of who is allowed to check and who isn't. (Note: Mr. Palmer said that in the three years the PS Library has had them, no Playaways have been lost or seriously damaged.)
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Kirk Palmer, Primary Librarian kpalmer@sas.edu.sg
