Kia ora MKK family and whanau

A crate of ‘Where’s Wally’ and ‘I Spy’ books like the ones pictured went missing last year from the school library. Some of them have recently turned up at the MKK hall community library.
If anyone in the community has seen anymore of these type of books with a school bar code on the back, please drop them at the school office.
Thank you for your help.
