Meadowbank School Library

Meadowbank School

Meadowbank Primary is a split site school consisting of approx 660 pupils. The role is forecast to exceed 700 by year end.

We are very fortunate to have two libraries; one for juniors and the other for senior children. However, this is all about to change in term three. Next week, work is due to start on our new library under the school hall. Unfortunately we have run out of classroom space for our ever increasing school roll, so our two libraries have to merge into one new library. There will be a lot of work to do in setting up a new library but it is also very exciting. The photos I have taken are of the junior library and the back workroom that also house teacher resources.

These photos show the green bins that we use for our data entry for new books received into the library. We have developed our own in house data entry system, which compliments the two libraries currently in use at Meadowbank School. Once we integrate the two libraries into one resource room we will need to revisit the data entry system.

We also currently use other plastic storage facilities to store book covering materials, posters, book covers and books that require mending. By having a place for most things, it helps keep the relatively small and compact work area tidy.
