OLF’s Library is key to promoting and supporting the teaching of our school’s Guided Inquiry approach, the Information Search Process, researched and developed by Kuhlthau, Maniotes & Caspari (2012). It is an active learning environment where information literacy is taught through carefully planned, closely supervised, and targeted intervention by an instructional team which includes the professional contribution of the teacher-librarian.
OLF celebrates Children’s Book Week each year, with a range of creative and engaging activities to celebrate the joy of reading and promote the role of quality literature in the lives of our children and their families.
Our school library is a precious and highly valued space.
A vibrant hub of learning, stories and exploration, the library provides a welcoming place to meet, collaborate, research, relax and improve information literacy.
It empowers students to be imaginative and critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and discerning researchers. Our library is a place where curiosity is nurtured.
Staff foster a culture where reading is encouraged and celebrated, and texts are deeply valued for their ability to help students understand themselves and their world. This ‘reading culture’ contributes positively to students’ intellectual, social, and emotional development.
Our students can access authentic, age-appropriate resources at any time through the Oliver library management system and ACEN digital library’s Sora app.
