Important Reminder

Move of library to M-Building Announcement
Now that the new FLC Building is officially open, we are stepping right into the next phase of our building plan with the renovation of the Senior Building. To accommodate this, the school library has temporarily relocated into M-Building. While the setting has changed, our services remain entirely intact. The complete collection of books has been successfully transferred to the new space, ensuring students enjoy full access to browse, borrow, and return titles without interruption.
eBooks Announcement
Alongside the thousands of books that we have on our library shelves, students now have 24/7 access to an extensive digital library of eBooks. Staff and Students can download the ePlatform app on smartphones, tablets, or laptops and log-in anytime using your @schools.vic.edu.au email account. Key features include custom text sizes, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and automatic returns, so you never have to worry about returning eBooks. If you have any questions about how to access this fantastic resource, feel free to visit the library.
