It is full of resources such as books (physical and audio), computers, newspapers and magazines to support learning, teaching, and reading for pleasure. Students can use the computers and desks for homework, study and research, and we also have soft seating areas for more relaxed reading. Throughout the school year, we have a range of fun and engaging library events. You are welcome to use the library on the day assigned to your year group. Please check the Google classroom announcement page for further information. ### Finding books We have a [Library catalogue and reading lists on Oliver](https://littleilford.oliverasp.co.uk/library/home/browse/readingLists) or you can browse the [eplatform](https://littleilford.eplatform.co/browse).
