KHS Library Enquirybrowse KHS Library for books and resources

The school library provides a wide range of resources to support learning in the school and to encourage recreational reading by the students. A well-stocked non-fiction section a good selection of reference books, such as dictionaries, encyclopaedias and atlases, for the students to use for research assignments is available.

The fiction collection includes a section of graded books which are used by the students in the Home Reading Program and can be borrowed by any student. The fiction collection is added to on a regular basis with new, mostly Australian, fiction for younger readers.

The library is fully automated with a network of 11 computers which can be used to search for library books in our online catalogue. The computers can also be used by students to access the internet for research or to use a word processor, or other software, to complete their assignments.

Students have access to a colour laser printer to print their work from a computer in the library. A fee is charged for this service as the printer consumables are quite expensive. The colour laser printer also acts as a colour photocopier which is operated by library staff on request. A similar fee is charged for this service also.

The Home Reading Program operates through the library.  To support this program the library houses the graded fiction and non fiction resources. These resources are identified by coloured dots on the spine and are located at the end of the fiction collection.

The library is open at 8.30am each day and at recess and lunchtime most days of the week. It is closed on Monday at recess and on Wednesday at lunchtime. The borrowing limit for students in years 7 to 10 is 2 fiction books and 2 non fiction books. In years 11 and 12 the borrowing limit is increased to 4 fiction and 4 non fiction books. The loan period is for 2 weeks.
