Library
Welcome!
A warm welcome to all our new College families from the Library staff. We have a range of resources and activities available for all year levels - novels in a range of genres, quick reads, magazines and non-fiction books for interest or research. We also have games, cameras and even robotics available to borrow. The library is open every lunchtime for borrowing and returning, playing computer games or board games or just relaxing and chatting with friends. See below for more information about the new clubs starting up this year on Wednesday lunchtimes.
You can browse the Accessit Library catalogue from any device connected to the internet. Follow the 'Library' link on the Student dashboard, or go to https://au.accessit.online/BRN09/#!dashboard. From here you can search the catalogue as a Guest, or you can login [use your Compass credentials] to see your borrowing details and reserve items. It's easy and there are short instructional videos on our dashboard.
If you need help with finding a book or anything else, just ask the Library staff!
