During learning from home

Click and Collect – Note sent home to school community and placed on LMS:

We are excited to inform you that the Library is implementing a ‘Click and Collect’ system to ensure resources remain accessible to everyone in our community. The process for this is as follows:

  1. Navigate to our library catalogue and browse our collection
  2. Send an email to the library with the list of items you wish to borrow. In this email please include:
    1. The book title and author of each of the items you with to borrow
    2. Your child’s name to whom the items will be borrowed out to
  3. The Library Staff will collate and loan out your requested items
  4. You will receive an email or phone call from us when your items are ready to be picked up
  5. Collect your items from the Front Office during office hours (8am to 4pm Monday – Friday)
  6. If you have items you wish to return, please do so at the Front Office.

It is our aim to have your resources ready for collection within 48 hours of your request.

All returned resources will be set aside for five days before they are processed and re-shelved. This period is in accordance with research and allows any potential viruses time to deactivate.

Please also note that we have increased the number of books children are able to borrow and we are not sending overdue notices during this period. Children who are at school are able to borrow and return items as normal.

Please email us at the library if you have any queries.
