The library staff
Our two librarians, Avril Villiers and Nicky Wilson, work hard to ensure that this vital area of the School is as accessible and well used as possible. The popularity of the area for research, study and recreation is evidence of their success, for the library is rarely empty. The library is one of the many parts of the school where the use of computers has made a considerable impact in recent years. The library’s extensive stock of books is maintained using a computer and the recording of all staff and student borrowing for this system is simplified by the use of bar-code readers. As a result, the librarians are able to devote time to more important tasks, such as providing advice and support to library users. The range of facilities now offered by the library, some of which are listed above, is increasing all the time.
