Online Library
Even though the GEC physical library is empty of students and staff there has been a hive of activity happening online. Loans on our eBook platform are up over 600% from April to August compared to the same period last year! The most popular books borrowed are: The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus Book 3) by Rick Riordan, Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl, Wonder by R.J. Palacio and Allegiant (Divergent Book 3) by Veronica Roth. Check out the growing eBook collection including the Wellness Collection at https://gleneiracollege.wheelers.co/
