Library News
O'Connor Catholic College
Holiday Reading
Students are welcome to borrow books over the holiday period. The Library Staff are very generous to how many books you can have at one time. Better to be in your hands over the summer holidays than on the shelves!
Complete 'Bad Guys' Series
Mrs Lemon as been shopping at our local bookstores and we now have the complete series of the popular 'Bad Guys' books by Aaron Blabey with multiple copies of each book.
We have many news books that even your parents or guardians may like to read. Titles can be searched via our online catalogue which can be found via compass or our website.
Call out for Year 11 Texts
Thank you to those students who have been bringing in any texts they no longer need. The staff at the Library Learning Centre would love to see this continue, so if you have finished with your Year 11 text, please bring it in.
Returning Library Books
Thank you to all the students who have brought in novels borrowed for the lockdown period. It has been great to have students in the library again! I am sure the books missed the company. We are still accepting these books with open arms.
We accept any O'Connor Library books back into our collection. Even if they are found from a student that attended a few years ago. You can organise for a student to bring them in or when restrictions ease, bring them into the College Office. (At the moment visitors are limited).
Books For All Abilities
The College Library has books for all reading abilities and it has been great to see many of our new 'easy read' section being borrowed. Our Teacher Librarian Mrs Glenda Lemon is also our College Careers Advisor. For advice on careers, see the Careers page of the newsletter.
EASY READS: OUR COLLECTION OF EASY READ BOOKS IS EXPANDING

Our Catalogue can be accessed via the Compass App. Just click on the star at the top and find 'Oliver'. Oliver is the name of our Library Catalogue. New books will be visible on the catalogue home page or you can search you favourite title or author. Students can also borrow for their parents and carers which is handy with the holidays approaching.
E-Books on Oliver
