Centenary Library

The Centenary Library is housed in a beautiful building which was originally constructed as the school gymnasium in 1899. It was transformed into the Library in 1994, one hundred years after the College moved from its original site in Euston Square to Northwood – hence the name.

Facilities include:

• A networked Library Catalogue which girls can use across the school to check stock as well as seeing which items they have on loan and when they are due back.

• 11,000 books.

• Films on VHS and DVD.

• Cassettes and CDs.

• 22 periodicals and newspapers and several online subscriptions.

• Separate areas for leisure reading and quiet study as well as networked computers for word processing and online research.

• Library lessons for all Year 7 pupils introducing them to research skills using both books and online resources.

• A Homework Club from 4 – 5pm every day (from 3.25pm on Fridays).

• The Centenary Library is open from 8.15 until 5pm daily. We aim to support all aspects of educational and recreational life at Northwood College as well as nurturing a love of reading and knowledge.
