A new bus network for the Sunshine Coast On Monday 25 November, Sunshine Coast buses will change in line with the opening of the new Maroochydore bus station. Your new bus network will provide you with:

An important note for school students
As part of these changes, you may notice some changes to bus stops within your local area.

• on-board your local bus service
• visiting your local library, electorate office, tourist information centre and major shopping centres such as Sunshine Plaza and Kawana Shoppingworld

Library News
Overdue Library Books Library borrowing will cease on 29 November, after which all books will become overdue. Could we please ask for your assistance in helping your child to locate and return their library books ASAP. There will be a reward for the class who have all their books returned first. Please don’t let your fellow class members down by not returning your books. This also includes any home readers children may still have at home. These books are kept in sets of 8 and it is paramount that they are all returned to keep these sets complete. Please look and if you find a book with a spine label or barcode on it or in it send it back. Parents/Caregivers: If your child’s book is lost or damaged please call up to the Library and we can let you know the replacement cost of the book/s. Any child with overdue books at the beginning of the new school year will be unable borrow. Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter. Resource Centre Staff
