Students need School Libraries

• Did you know… that your school library supports your child to engage with a diverse range of books to extend their imagination and develop a lifelong love of reading?
• Did you know… that school libraries are responsive and collaborative learning spaces that provide students with access to a wide range of resources that are relevant and appropriate to their learning needs?
• Did you know… that school libraries support your child to reach their potential by teaching them how to become capable researchers and to navigate the world of online information and fake news?
• Did you know... that teacher librarians hold specialised qualifications as both a teacher and a librarian? Quality library staff are trained to support keen and reluctant, successful and struggling learners.

Students need school libraries. If you are keen to ensure that EVERY child in Australia has access to a quality school library, check out the information available at https://studentsneedschoollibraries.org.au

At Mount Carmel College, we are very fortunate to have two trained and experienced library professionals working within the Sister O’Brien Library.  Mrs Hedwig Hill is a qualified Library Technician and Ms Melinda Levy is a qualified Teacher Librarian, holding qualifications as both a librarian and teacher. 

We always welcome feedback and suggestions on ways you believe library services can be further enhanced at Mount Carmel College.  Please contact us at library.email@mountcarmel.tas.edu.au
