What we can do for you!

We have had a few questions from staff about how our Library works, and what we offer, so we decided to put it up on the blog for everyone to read.

Yes - we do loan books out.  We LOVE to loan books out.  Loaning books out is our whole rationale.  (And not just books, either)
  • Looking for a particular book?  Come and talk to us. We can organise an Inter-library-Loan or help you find where to purchase it.
  • Resources:  Books, DVDs, Magazines and Newspapers, iPad sets, eBook Readers, Digital Cameras, Video Recorders, Computer Mice sets, Data Projectors, Teacher Reference, Kits........
  • IWB area and a bank of computers and laptops that are available to be booked for classes.  This laptop trolley is only to be used in the Library area, however.
  • Need a hand to download material from cameras or recorders?  Talk to us - or maybe it would be safer to talk to Carrie about that!  (Trust me, I am not the right person for that job!)
  • Help with research, proofreading of assignments, suggestions for books to read - we are your people.
  • Anything else?  Just ask us, we are AWESOME!  (And obviously very modest as well!)
Students have a 2 week borrowing period while staff have a month.  For most of the resources, we can adjust the loaning period for whatever is needed - at least till the end of term. However, this doesn't include the AV materials - that is a 1 week loan period only.

If you want to bring your class in to borrow - fantastic.  Give us a quick heads up so we can be ready to zap barcodes and it is all good.

Just let us know what we can do for you.
