About the Library
Guardian Angels' library and resource centre is located on the Mount Carmel campus of Guardian Angels' school. Our library is used for collection management, resource circulation, class lessons and recreational activities. We welcome parents and caregivers to use these facilities.
Our Mission
The Guardian Angels’ library provides the school community with welcoming learning spaces, nurturing lifelong learning by providing a current collection of resources which support the academic, social and moral values and needs of the learner.
Guardian Angels' Library Opening Hours
Monday-Friday before school when attended by the Teacher Librarian.
Monday - Friday: 10:50am - 11:15am
Students can use the library before school for book returns, borrowing and/or quiet reading. At lunch time after the children have finished eating their lunch the library can be used as a recreational space where students may play board games, research information, and/or read.
Our library is a very busy and well-loved place. We are always in need of volunteer helpers to cover books, shelve books and help tidy the library. If you would like to be a part of our library please contact the Teacher Librarian.
The Collection
