CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.
They provide access to a range of resources that help students on their learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.
Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.
Our physical library
The Fr Norman Grady Library is a centre of information and a shared learning environment for students and staff to explore.
It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with designated areas for research, interactive learning and literature. Students are encouraged to be active learners and to develop a love of reading for pleasure.
The library is well-resourced with a wide selection of current and classic fiction (including audio format) and digital resources that cater for all interests.
Reading is fun at St Agnes with engaging activities like the Book Week Parade, Literary Guess Who? and the Book Trailer Competition. Students can also participate in the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge and the St Agnes Literature Prize.
Student support
Teacher Librarians are on hand to assist students with locating quality information from relatable sources and to ensure it is used in an ethical manner. All library staff have a great passion for literature and enjoy helping students to find their next ‘great read’.
