Suggest a book or author?
We aim to provide great reading materials for all reading abilities and interests. One source of collection development for our library is directly from our students. We have had some great reading requests this year and we have added these to our collection. A Suggestion Box is in our library. If students have a title or author they would like us to consider, then we encourage them to come in, fill out the request slip and place it in the Suggestion Box.

Researching with Oliver
Our online Library is 24x7. When students are conducting research for an assignment, their first place to look is in our Library. Students can search our Library online via the McCarthy Learning Homepage (Library-Oliver) from home, in the classroom or directly from the Library’s two online catalogues.
Here is a short instructional clip for our students to get started with research. In less than 90 seconds this clip will explain how to conduct library research. Watching this clip can save the user hours of time searching for resources.
