Two journals, The Scientific American and The Geographical Magazine, are indexed by staff on the Library database so that articles going back several years may be searched. Fines of 2p per item per day are levied in an effort to keep material in circulation. The latter is kept in the Stack Room, together with some of the older stock. The Library also subscribes to an online service whereby back issues of local newspapers may be searched by keyword. There is a coin-operated photocopier in the Library.
Pupils are welcome to help in the Library, mainly shelving books.
All Year 7 pupils undergo a six-week programme of training in library skills as part of the Activities cycle. Each year a few Duke of Edinburgh Award candidates choose Librarianship as their skill.
