Welcome to our Library

The library is the heart of the school with almost 9000 books ranging from fiction, non-fiction, poetry, picture books, comics and more: we have something for all children to enjoy.

Our library provides a welcoming and stimulating literacy environment that strives to create lifelong lovers of reading.

Children from Year 2 and up visit the library fortnightly. Each class appoints two Student Librarians helping to scan out class books. In Year 6, Student Librarians are chosen through an application process and play a vital role in supporting the library.

You can find out more about our school library and see photos from class visits by looking through our school blog.

Year 6 Student Librarian Blog Post

Term 2

Probably one of the most exciting parts of our job up in the library is introducing new books to the shelves. Many books come into the library in the form of donations and orders. The process is fun and simple…

First, we open the books to the blank page by the cover and apply a Bishop Road stamp. Next, we stick a barcode and genre label to the books and add a book jacket. It is an exciting and magical experience!

Making displays has been one of the most fun things we have done so far. We’ve been doing some artwork based on our next whole school project; Hydrology. We have labelled new books to do with the project and have made artwork such as taps, clouds, rain droplets and even and entire river! It’s been really fun watching everyone’s talents help make the display, whether it’s cutting, drawing, labelling or sorting out the books we’ve all played our part.

Finally, we believe that our jobs in the library are amazing and we wouldn’t trade it for anything else at school. We all hope you love and appreciate the library as much as we do.
