Senior School - Library
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.
