Inspiring Lifelong Readers and Learners

St George’s students and staff have access to our online library catalogue, featuring our range of digital resources and more detailed information about the print books and magazines. From here, users may manage their loans, reserve books and follow links to outside resources.

All nursery children enjoy weekly rhyme time and story time with the librarian, and older nursery children are given opportunities to borrow books throughout the year with Dewey the Dog.

Classes in Primary 1 through Primary 5 attend library lessons once a week. They’re led in a library activity or story time with the librarian before having an opportunity to browse and borrow books and enjoy quiet reading time individually or in small groups.

P1-P4 pupils may borrow 2 books for 1 week at a time. P5 pupils may borrow 3 books for 1 week at a time.

Primary 6 classes attend library lessons once a week, where they continue to learn about the library and different kinds of fiction. Remove and Lower 4 classes attend library lessons once every fortnight as part of their English timetable to develop their independent learning and reading.

Upper 4 classes attend library lessons once every fortnight as part of their English timetable, where they expand their research skills and reading horizons.
In Lower 5 and above, classes may visit the library with their class teachers as directed or use the space and resources in their own time.

The Sixth Form are welcome to use the Upper School Library throughout the school day for quiet study and research. Sixth Form also receive additional librarian-led research and reference seminars as a group and in subject classes. They may then request 1:1 support from the librarian to help with specific enquiries.
