Welcome to the Library Information

Centre Virtual Site!

"The library is the heart of a school, with its storehouse of knowledge, it liberates, informs, teaches and enthralls. A library provides a cultural centre where students and teachers alike come to enlarge and clarify knowledge, to read and reflect."

"Teacher-librarians play three critical roles in the learning community: teacher, information specialist and administrator. In each of these roles they empower students and teachers to meet higher standards."

- Ken Haycock
