Feedback

Did you know the Library has a Suggestion Box and a Book Request Notebook at the Help Desk?

Use the Suggestion Box to share ideas for new books, display themes, or anything else that could make our Library even better.

The Book Request Notebook is where you can request specific titles or see what others are hoping to read.

If we order a book you’ve requested, we’ll let you know when it arrives — and you’ll get first dibs on borrowing it!

How can we help?

BOOK LOANS

Years 7-10 students can borrow 4 fiction and 4 non-fiction books at a time. Years 11-12 student can borrow addition books as required.

Books can be borrowed for 2 weeks and renewed if another student hasn’t reserved it.

BOOK RESERVES

Library staff can help you reserve a book if it is already on loan to another student. Send us an email or stop by the Library Help desk and we’ll place the reserve.

READING SUGGESTIONS

All students are welcome to borrow books from the Library. Our friendly Library team loves reading and is always happy to give recommendations!

COMPUTER CHARGING

The Library has two cabinets with slots for leaving your laptop to charge. These are available on a first-come, first-served basis. They are NOT available during class time.
