The Library Resource Centre is a very busy area in this school, it provides material to support the curriculum, helping with pupils investigations and encouraging reading. We have a stock of approximately 9000 items, mainly books, but also audio tapes (story tapes) videos and CD-ROM's.

The I.C.T. area has 30 computers which are for pupil use. They are mainly booked in by their teachers, but senior pupils with free periods can book a computer to work on their own. These computers are used for word processing , and for research using the Internet and CD-ROMs. 

To encourage reading, most 1st - 4th year pupils have a time during an English period when they can change their Library Books. They can borrow 2 items. Books are loaned for 2 weeks, audio tapes 1 week and videos overnight. Returning items is a problem for some pupils, and we would ask parents to help us get our books back on time.

During the Lunch Hour the L.R.C. is usually open for about 30 minutes for pupils to change books, use computers (which must be pre-booked) or do homework. We allow different year groups in each lunchtime

Mondays 2nd year
Tuesday Book Club
Wednesday 3rd Year
Thursday 4-6th Year
Friday 1st year

The Careers Library is an integral part of the L.R.C. we hold information on most Career Paths, with a large section of College and University Prospectuses, and several careers information databases. These can be used during Social Education Classes, or during the Lunch Hour opening sessions.
