Kogarah Public School

Library

Our well-resourced school library operates four days per week and provides our students with a broad range of resources to support their learning. Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 are encouraged to regularly borrow books.

Students are explicitly taught how to use a library and to develop their information skills.

The library has banks of computers where students can access all forms of information technology.

Knowledge is free at the library- just bring your own container.” (Unknown)

@ the KPS Library we are passionate about literature and developing information seeking skills.  Our key goal is to help our students to enjoy reading for pleasure as well as for finding information so that they may grow into discerning consumers of information and become lifelong learners.
