The School Libraries The School Libraries There are two libraries in the Senior School. The Emery Library, situated in the heart of the school opposite the two computer rooms, is used by all members of the school community but particularly by students in Years 7 to 11, and this is the library you will use regularly during key stage 3. Our other library area is based in the Sixth Form Centre, and offers resources specifically targeted to A-level study. The Emery Library is open throughout the school day, and is managed by our full-time Librarian, Mrs Williams, who will help and guide you in your use of the library so that you can quickly take full advantage of the resources available to you, both for leisure reading and to aid you in your studies. Many of your lessons could take place in the Emery Library as it is an area that is often booked by subject teachers to allow students to access the full range of resources available to support their research on specific topics. Once a fortnight, you will also use the Emery Library as the base for your English lesson rather than the classroom, and in those lessons you will be encouraged to read and complete a programme of book-related projects and activities which we hope will encourage you to broaden and extend your reading choices. Keen readers will also have the opportunity to join the extra-curricular Book Club for Years 7 to 9, and the Carnegie Medal Shadowing Group in Year 9. The Emery Library is a popular location for students wishing to complete their homework in their morning break or lunch break, or who simply want to relax by reading a book or magazine. Over 11,000 books are housed in the Fiction, Non- Fiction and Reference sections, and there is also a wide range of periodicals and DVDs for students to borrow. Our library management system, Heritage, allows you to access the library catalogue so that you can search for, and reserve specific titles. Books may be borrowed for a period of 4 weeks, with a 3 day loan period for DVDs. In addition, there are 12 desktop and 14 laptop computers available for student use, so that you can access the full range of digital information sources available via the school network and the Internet. We hope that the Emery Library will be an area of the school that you will enjoy using and one that will add to your educational experience here at <strong>Ratcliffe</strong>. We actively encourage you to read as much as possible and welcome suggestions for book recommendations. To raise the profile of books and reading, we organize a number of activities throughout the school year, so look out for details of these around the school and on the library area of the VLE. 65
