Borrowing from the Lion Library while learning from home

Our library remains open for borrowing books and other resources. We will be operating a ‘click and collect’ program while learning from home for staff and students. 

 

Email the Lion library using the email: library@khs.nsw.edu.au with your queries and requests. Students are encouraged to browse and borrow from a wide range of Ebooks and print books. See below for a reminder on how to browse Oliver from home. Print books can be collected directly from the front office window.
