A Guide To Using The Learning Resource Centre

  • The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is open every day from 8.25am – 4.00pm for lessons, at break, lunch, and after school for quiet reading or to complete school work.

  • The Librarian, Mrs Hamilton, is happy to help you. Please ask if you have any queries about how or where to find the information you need.

  • You can borrow up to four books at a time.

  • Books can be borrowed for up to four weeks, and must be returned to the Librarian’s desk or put in the Book Return Box, which is outside the LRC.

  • The return date will be stamped on the slip in front of the book to remind you.

  • If you have not finished reading your book, you can ask the Librarian to renew it.

  • All fiction books are stored on the shelves in alphabetical order by author’s surname.

  • All non-fiction books are stored on the shelves by their Dewey number which you will learn about in Library Induction Lessons.

  • Large selections of audio books on CD and films on DVD are available.

  • Books are marked as age appropriate. If you wish to read a book for an older age group you will need to have an email sent from home giving permission. The email address is tsaslrc@yare-edu.org.uk .

  • Year 7 students have induction lessons in the first few weeks of term to learn how to correctly use the library.
