We have 15000 resources for you to choose from in the library. These include:

Fiction

We have books of all genres and for all tastes including graphic novels, picture books and popular reads.

Most fiction is arranged alphabetically, though we also have separate genre sections such as Quick Reads, Chillers, Short Stories and Fantasy.

Reference

Resources such as encyclopaedias, atlases and statistical annuals are available. There are also many different language dictionaries as well as English ones
