The Lion Library features collaborative learning spaces, study spaces, a dedicated study area for our senior students, flexible shelving and furniture, and charging facilities.
Laptops are available for loan to be used in the library, and new technologies continue to be installed. Projectors and a TV panel now cater for larger audiences. The Lion Library offers programs, holds events, manages activities and encourages student leadership in our Technology Library Teams project, all of which develop 21st century skills in our students. We look forward to your visit.
