Making the library a lunchtime staple

February 14, 2018

One of the busiest times in the Secondary Library is lunchtime.

Once-upon-a-time, during lunch, the library was often only used by students wanting to explore literature and by others looking for a quiet space away from the playground, but what’s lovely is that today’s library is now being inundated by students for new reasons. There is a special ‘cafe’ area where students can sit and relax, enjoy their lunch, and perhaps purchase a caffeine and sugar free drink from the vending machine.

Students are working closely together and are forming meaningful social bonds in these spaces.

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9

St Stephen’s Libraries – The Heart of 21st Centry Learning

March 30, 2017

The school library is integral to the teaching and learning process.

The library facilitates the work of the classroom teacher and ensures each student has equitable access to resources.

While the role of the school library remains constant, its design, digital platform, strategies and tools change as pedagogy and technology changes.

Our thriving school libraries provide a social space to meet, collaborate, research, learn, share and relax.

 

“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”  – Albert Einstein
