At Larkin Community College, there’s always Room for Reading! Our students have access to a high-quality, well-stocked library, expertly managed by our dedicated librarian, Jean. As a JCSP Project Library, it serves as a vibrant hub for learning, open before school, at lunchtime, and after school.

Students enjoy weekly library classes, fostering a love for reading in a welcoming and supportive environment. Borrowing books is a daily habit at Larkin, and we encourage every student to explore the world of stories, knowledge, and creativity through reading. Whether for study, research, or pure enjoyment, our library is at the heart of our school community.

Come in, explore, and discover the joy of reading at Larkin Library!

Virtual Library

Currently all our students have access to Sora, our Digital Library and MyON where they can access ebooks and audiobooks as well as many other resources which can be found here in our Larkin Library's Virtual Space.  Almost everything is clickable and can guide students to various books, resources and educational games.

 

We run library-based classes aimed at improving students' Literacy and Numeracy skills. As in all of the JCSP Libraries reading and writing skills are developed, reading habits nurtured and the information skills needed to navigate and participate in society are practised during our weekly library classes. We regularly organise reading initiatives, author visits, book clubs, storytelling, maths games, literacy games, careers fairs, tech events and much more. We often hold events and activities for parents, staff and groups from the local community.

This dynamic space in an equally dynamic school has quickly become the heart of the school where our students choose to come in their free time.

We use a computerised programme called Accelerated Reader to monitor our junior students’ reading and comprehension, direct them to suitable books and to challenge them to improve their reading levels.
