The Library is all about discovery, imagination and exploration, from reading for pleasure to subject-based investigations, to young people catching up with their own interests.

We teach pupils the skills necessary for living in a culture of  information: not just how to find information, but how to make best use of it, and whether it can be trusted.

The Library is also a hub for interdisciplinary learning, researching and organising visits and speakers, and coordinating lessons from individual departments.

Pupils have access to the Library throughout the day. Lunchtimes are particularly busy with pupils completing homework, reading and exchanging books, playing board games or with construction toys, competing in competitions  or working on their own or simply exploring their own interests.

Our Twitter account is also available at @OLHSLRC and you can also explore our variety of resources through our online catalogue, AccessIT (click on the correct link on the left, whether you’re at home or in school).
