The library is in the heart of our school. Reading and acquiring knowledge is the most important part of learning and the library helps students to learn and make progress.
The library motto is: ‘Read Your Way to Success’.
“To read a book for the first time is to make an acquaintance with a new friend; To read it for a second time is to meet an old one.” - Chinese proverb
The library is open daily, from 8am to 5pm (4pm on Wednesdays), including break and lunchtime. There is a wide selection of books and magazines to meet a range of abilities and interests. The library resources not only support home learning assignments, but also encourage a true love of reading.
All year 7 students participate in library Induction during their first weeks at Dormers Wells High School. This allows them to become acquainted with all library resources.
6th Form students are also welcome to visit the library throughout the day to use books and computers for their research or for quiet study.
The library is run by two friendly librarians, who will always try to help students with home learning and recommend a great book… or two… or three...
There is also a group of Student Library Leaders on duty during the day to offer support in the running and organisation of the library and to recommend books to their peers.
