Library/LRC

Welcome to Haggerston School Library!

The library/learning resource centre is located at the heart of the school and offers a pleasant, bright and spacious environment for both pupils and staff. It is a vibrant space where people can come together to access information, share ideas, read and above all learn. Promoting literacy and reading for pleasure are key objectives for Haggerston School, and the library plays an important role by inspiring curiosity and a love of reading.

The Haggerston school library aims to:

• Provide a welcoming, supportive and stimulating environment for all library users.
• Facilitate and promote reading for pleasure and encourage pupils to become independent and enthusiastic readers at all levels.
• Support the delivery of targeted and meaningful reading interventions by monitoring Accelerated Reader engagement.
• Complement and support the curriculum by providing access to a wide range of up to date resources.
• Ensure pupils are fully equipped to find the information they need to support and enhance their research and personal development skills.
• Support students and teachers with learning across the curriculum.

We run a Student Librarian scheme with volunteers from Year 7 upwards who provide invaluable support each break and lunchtime. Student Librarians are a real asset to the library. They support in organising library events and displays. Help in issuing books, returning books to the shelves and recalling overdue books.
