The Learning Resource Centre is a vibrant and nurturing space that sparks students curiosity, giving them a choice and a voice.
Our resources enhance and support learning across the curriculum whilst also providing a welcoming environment for those seeking space to read, relax, socialise, feel included and learn.

Accessit | The LRC at your fingertips
Our library uses Accessit which is an easy to use interactive library management system which allows students to search through resources, fiction books as well as a selection of Ebooks and Audiobooks.
Borrowing Books
- Students can borrow up to three books at a time, with a loan period of three weeks.
- Students need to bring their books into the LRC for renewals.
- Reminders will be emailed to students when books are overdue.
- Students are issued with a library card and when they have read/listened to five books, they will be awarded achievement points.
