CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.
They provide access to a range of resources that help students on their learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.
Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.
Our physical library
Our large library is a vibrant, modern learning space with flexible furniture to support a range of activities. It hosts an extensive children’s literature collection and access to a wealth of STEM resources including robots, droids and 3D printers.
All students have a specific class day to borrow books. They can also borrow and return books before school and at lunchtime.
Our digital library
Students have access to the eLibrary - the digital gateway to a range of quality online resources that encourage and enhance reading and support inquiry learning. The virtual library gives access to an electronic bookshelf and database access for students and staff.
