SearchStar Logo

Everyone in school can now visit the Library and easily see what we have in stock by searching our catalogue. The program SearchStar has now been installed on one of the laptops and it is very easy to use. Just ask Mrs Robinson or any of the Library Helpers if you need any help with it.

SearchStar

SearchStar will tell you if we have a book in stock or if it has been borrowed by someone. You can search for your favourite author or title, or you can enter a subject keyword for a list of books.

If you are at home, you can search our catalogue by using the LibraryThing box on the right-hand side of this screen.

Why not give it a go! If you cannot find the book you want, then please call in to the Library and talk to Mrs Robinson and she will do her best to get it for you!
