Students from Years 4 to 10 at Boorowa Central School are encouraged to help library users by choosing to volunteer their services as lunchtime Library Monitors. Monitors spend two lunch times a week for 20 minutes at a time improving their literacy and numeracy skills by helping other students find suitable books for reading for pleasure as well as reshelving returned loans. The younger monitors do a fabulous job listening to K - 3 children reading aloud and sometimes they read aloud to these children.

All NSW public school libraries have recently been migrated from the old OASIS system to the new OLIVER system and one of the benefits of this is the new ease in which students can borrow and return books and other resources.
Teacher librarian Mrs Debra Eustace says, “it is excellent to see borrowing rates are up so far this year with students being encouraged to suggest new titles they would like to see on the shelves. The latest requests involve mostly series which are enthusiastically borrowed as soon as they are processed.”
