Welcome to a new and exciting academic session at the library! It is an honour to be part of your children’s learning process this year.
We work with a digital Library Management system called Follettdestiny.com. This is your gateway to books, websites and other resources in the school. This system allows students, staff and parents to view our school library catalogue online and students are encouraged to use this to help with research, to write reviews about books they have read, and search for new books that they may like to read.
LIBRARY SUBSCRIPTIONS AND AGREEMENTS
The catalogue, now searchable online, includes upwards of 14,547 titles, with 32,298 copies of books and audio-visual resources, as well as many thousands of approved websites. You can access the system Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) clicking the button below.
Having the library accessible in this way, and having parents engaged with reading, will help to support our commitment in improving our students’ literacy standards. The school is strongly committed to promoting reading for pleasure.
Have fun using the new interface and be sure you familiarise yourself with all the new features.
The Library of Real Academia Española (RAE) safeguards the books that have supported the institution in its work for three centuries. We open the doors to this historical legacy through our Digital Library.
