STOYLES LIBRARY
Welcome to the Stoyles Library which is named after Herbert G Stoyles who was the first headmaster of the school from 1929 until 1940. The library houses well over 20,000 print resources including non-fiction for both study and personal interest and a popular and constantly growing fiction collection. The library caters for all students with both quiet reading and group work areas.
There are 15 computers with internet access available for research and /or homework tasks which can be booked for use at second recess and lunch. We also have 8 lap tops and a data projector / starboard set up in the Applied Learning Centre. Databases to which we subscribe can be accessed both at school and from home.
Library procedures are as follows:
- Open to juniors 9am – 3.15pm (except first recess and Wednesday afternoons)
- All students are issued with a library borrowing card which MUST be used for all borrowing
- Most resources can be borrowed for 2 weeks and can be renewed on return if still required
- Reference books can be borrowed overnight on request
- Books can be returned at any time between 8am – 3.30pm
- Juniors can borrow at recess, lunch and during class library sessions
- Overdue books results in suspension of borrowing rights until overdue items returned
- A photocopier is available for students use at a cost of 20c per A4 sheet. It is operated by rechargeable cards which are available for purchase from the library staff for $3.20
- Year 7 students will have Library Orientation early in Term 1 to help them become familiar with the library, its resources and systems.
The library is staffed by two library assistants and a full time fully qualified Teacher Librarian who is available to help with locating resources, advice on the Information Process or if in need of a recommendation.
