Welcome to Term 3 and the challenges of learning and working in a remote environment for most of our Year 7 to 10 students.  Despite your absence from on-site learning, we are here in the library to support you, so please get in contact with us at library@gec.vic.edu.au for all things library. At the Library we are continuing to support the information, learning and reading needs of both students and staff. Our Library Catalogue is available for you to access from home. Please bookmark it in your favourite internet browser:  https://au.accessit.online/GLN12

For students learning from home, our growing eBook collection is available for you to borrow. Check out the range of books available at https://gleneiracollege.wheelers.co/
