Library The library is a place where students can get away from the bustle of the classroom and study in a relaxed and welcoming environment. At St Aloysius’ College, we encourage all our students to read for pleasure – whether online or on the page. Our goal is to support each individual in their studies, help them as they develop their own interests, and, ultimately, spur them on to become life-long learners. Current research tells us that reading habits can have a profound impact on a child’s academic progress – so there’s nothing more important than having a place where those habits can be nurtured. The library has an ever-expanding collection of fiction and non-fiction resources, covering subjects across the curriculum as well as a range of extra-curricular topics. We also have a selection of magazines and newspapers, keeping students up to date on everything from art and design to current affairs. The library is open to students from P7 through to S6.
