Parents in the library: Books and resources

This explains activities for parents in the library

 

All members of our school community have borrowing rights at both the Primary and Secondary Library. In order to be able to borrow books and eBooks we need you to pop into the library and show your badge at the circulation desk.  The staff will create an account for you and you put in a password.

 

Our libraries are open from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday during term time. Please contact the library if you wish to visit during the holidays as our hours vary according to staff availability.

 

We do not impose a borrowing limit, however we ask our patrons to be reasonable and mindful of other users who may be waiting for a book. After hours, books can be returned to the library return box outside the main door.
