At OLPS the library is a valued purpose-built resource centre.
All students access the library for borrowing, browsing, or researching as well as learning the effective use of research skills, including the use of technology.
Each week the students have a set borrowing/learning time, which is given high priority by the staff and all students are encouraged to borrow regularly. Each child uses a satchel to protect the books.
Goals of the OLPS library:
We provide opportunities for our community to read, learn, create and connect supported by access to quality literature, technology, excellent learning programs on information literacy and a welcoming place to relax and enjoy.
