Library

“We hope that libraries will always exist as places for learners to find information, resources, services, and instruction. But formats, technologies, learning needs, and our schools are evolving. And so our students themselves. Our entire information and communication landscapes have shifted – and this shift will only continue”. Valenza and Johnston (OCTOBER 2009).

The school library is central to learning and plays a key role as a place for encouraging, innovation, curiosity, and problem solving. School librarians make a difference to students understanding and achievement and provide support for teaching and learning throughout the school. The school library is an important part of the school community and reflects and welcomes this community.

Our library is a catalyst for literacy and reading and for teaching and scaffolding inquiry learning. As we know that it plays a key role in the cultural and social life of the school. It can be a central point for engagement with all kinds of reading, cultural activities, access to information, knowledge building deep thinking and lively discussion.
