CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.
They provide access to a range of resources that help students on their learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.
Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.
Our physical library
Our library is a colourful and well stocked space that provides the school community with access to a range of books and digital resources. All classes visit the library regularly to support classroom work, enabling children to develop research skills and borrow from our extensive collection.
St John's celebrates a rich reading culture that encourages a lifelong love of literature. The students have the opportunity to participate in Book Week, the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge and the MS Readathon.
Students are able to use the library for lunch and recess, providing an alternative to outdoor play.
eLibrary
All our students have access to the eLibrary - the ultimate digital learning tool for reading and learning.
The virtual library provides unlimited access to thousands of e-books, e-magazines, audiobooks, videos, research information and even bilingual resources with just the click of a button.
