Using the Library services

From the John Cain Library

Did you know that you can search our books from the school website?

If you go to the Northcote High School website and log in as a parent or student on the opening page, you can then navigate to the school library website via the school favourites.

You can browse through our new books on the Top Picks carousel.

You can also search the library resources.

You can make reservations, or review a book that you have enjoyed reading and may wish to recommend.

We also strongly recommend that you join your local library and we have links here to the community libraries where you can find more resources or study after our library closes. Check out City of Melbourne’s, Library at the Dock with it’s table tennis room, recording studio and 3D printing facilities!

In Databases and Digital resources you can find a selection of eBooks for your enjoyment and online journals for research.

EXPANDING YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING RESOURCES 

Northcote High School and Darebin Libraries are working together to encourage students to join their local library, where they can access more resources and study spaces after school hours.  Links to a number of community libraries have been added to the NHS John Cain Library webpage.

Check out Darebin Libraries resources and services, most available 24/7.  The Northcote branch will open its newly refurbished youth area on the 23rd May.  They have expanded the youth space, added extra study tables with power and USB ports, free Wi Fi, and moved the youth collection so it is all in one area. The Reservoir Library also has the Decibels Youth Music Studio for the musically inclined.   

If your child is not currently a Darebin Library member you can download the attached membership from in pdf, fill it in with your child including parent authorisation and return it to the NHS Library or scan and email it to info@nhs.vic.edu.au.  We will verify your details, take the form to the Darebin Library, collect your child’s card and deliver it to them in their tutorial group.   

Come and speak to us about special requests, we look forward to meeting you…
