Our school library is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for borrowing books or to spend time reading, drawing with friends and recommending books to each other. It is well-stocked with all the best fiction, from classics to new releases, as well as some up-to- date non-fiction and graphic novels, too. We have school kindles available to borrow, which are a great way to dip into new books – sign up on the waiting list if you’re interested!
