Main Library

The main library is divided into two areas, Junior and Senior. 

 

Fiction books are arranged alphabetically by author’s surname.  Non-fiction books are arranged using the Dewey Decimal Cataloguing system (if you are not familiar with the DDC and would like to know more please let us know).

 

• We have a small reference collection in each library for student research. 

• Please note that these books (marked Ref) do not circulate.

• We subscribe to two local newspapers and several magazines.These do not circulate but may be read in the library.
