Our Library
Welcome to Salvatorian College Library
The Salvatorian College Library is a modern and well-resourced environment. It is a vibrant hub of physical and digital learning space where reading, research, thinking, imagination and creativity are central to our students’ information-to-knowledge journey and to their personal, social and cultural growth.
It is situated in the North Block and pupils and staff can borrow books, eBooks and audiobooks, consult reference texts, magazines and our collections of graphic novels including manga and anime.
There are over 50 dedicated study spaces in the main Library area, 36 of which have individual LED lighting and power/USB sockets. The area is further complemented with 3 Reading Pods seating up to 6 students. The adjoining Computer Suite hosts 21 computers and can also accommodate individual study/revision space for a further 14 students.
Library stock is constantly updated and students are encouraged to request books they would like to read to ensure the stock remains current. They are also given opportunities to feedback ideas and suggest continual service developments that best meet their needs.
The Library is open from 7:45am every day and is staffed by Librarian Mrs Wood.
