Get to know our reading world
The Crown school Library offers a dedicated fiction and a well-resourced non-fiction collection, with individual and group study, class-sized teaching space, computer rooms, and access to a host of online and print based educational journals, articles, websites and databases.
Library Reading Time is a Middle School program designed to foster reading for pleasure and endorses the research-based premise that reading is an avenue to intellectual, personal and social development. A typical Library Reading Time consists of the Teacher Librarian introducing the lesson through a combination of new book promotions, reading recommendations and reading aloud, followed by an extended period of quiet reading.
Once the students reach Senior School, it is important for them to become familiar with different literary styles. During the year, the students are encouraged to visit library multiple times where a Teacher Librarian introduces them to different literary genres and encourages them to read widely.
The Teacher Librarians also work as e-learning facilitators and trainers to help staff and students develop digital fluencies. Within the library, students are able to use multiple digital tools and devices to investigate, create and communicate both independently and collaboratively.
The library also includes a 34 seat lecture space.
We invite you to further explore our tailored services and programs for student research and study and enjoy with us our love of literature and learning. Come in and Create, Explore, Investigate and Learn!
