CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.
They provide access to a range of resources that help students on their Learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.
Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.
Our Physical Library
The St Monica's library is located in the centre of our Learning Space. It is open for borrowing and returning daily, and quiet reading during lunch time. We are committed to fostering a love of reading in our students and helping build their literacy skills.
In order to encourage a sense of responsibility, students have the chance to become Library Monitors and help with the day-to-day running of the library. Our Library Monitors also help with setting up and running special library days such as book fairs and book character parades, and they mentor younger students for future roles.
eLibrary
All our students have access to the eLibrary - the ultimate digital learning tool for reading and learning.
The virtual library provides unlimited access to thousands of e-books, e-magazines, audiobooks, videos, research information and even bilingual resources with just the click of a button.
