School Library Facilities

 

Welcome to Pocock’s School Library!

 

The School Library is a large, split-level room located almost exactly in the centre of the school, with space for two classes at a time as well as students on lunch/spare.

 

Arrangements for use of the School Library during the school day are made through the Teacher-Librarian.

  • Two classes per period  can be booked into the School Library during periods 1, 2, and 4. 
  • During period 3, only one class can be booked as the lunch crowd counts as a second class.
  • A total of three periods each day can be booked as the fourth period is the Teacher-Libarians prep/PMT period. 
  • Period 3 is always considered booked, because of the lunch crowd. 
  • Bookings for two additional periods will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. 
  • Contact B. Dillon, the Teacher-Librarian, in person, by email, or by phone (x69169).

The School Library Seminar Room is available for small groups.  Contact the Library staff at x69169 to make bookings.  Please note that the Seminar Room is used on a regular basis as an office for support staff, who have to be given priority.

 

Arrangements for use of the School Library after hours are made through the main office and may require a school use permit.  Contact Pocock’s Receptionist at 905-602-6172.
