The library located at the school is rather unique. The present library used by the school, is also a branch of the Sutherland Shire Library.
Teacher librarians are in attendance on Monday and Tuesday
of the school terms. A Shire librarian assists the school's librarian on
Tuesdays as part of a reciprocal agreement between the Department and the
Shire. The building is used as a community library on Monday and Wednesday
from 3pm to 8.30pm and on Saturdays between 9:00am and 12:00pm
Our School/Community Library arrangement was officially sanctioned
by Sutherland Shire Council in February 1974 and approved by the Education
Department on 1st May 1975 by L. Gordon, Area Director of Education, St
George Area. The library became fully operational under this joint agreement
on 1st December 1975. The current Shire librarian has been employed since
its inception.
This arrangement between schools and other community organisations,
was one of the
first such agreements to be established in NSW Part of the reciprocal
arrangement includes, furnishings and payment of electricity by the Department
but the Shire is responsible for its own telephone line and computer equipment, for adult and supplementary reading material and for furniture
pertaining to the Shire's books.
This joint facility makes it possible for school borrowers to have
choice from an extensive catalogue and for the wider community to use the
library outside normal school hours.
