Goodwin Library - Ainslie School

‹›

Ainslie School was the first of two schools in the ACT purposely built around the school library as the hub in 1938. Since then it has undergone significant refurbishment to ensure this intent is fulfilled.

The library houses a substantial and significant collection of quality children's literature (both fiction and information) as well as library inquiry terminals, reference material, teaching resources and learning spaces which is supported by a team of highly qualified teachers.

Students use the library and facilities throughout the week where they are immersed in children's literature and engage in research. Students attend the library on a regular basis for a variety of purposes such as part of a private study, group activities, class activities and for browsing the collection. The library is open for students and their families to borrow or share a story before school from 8:30am and after school until 3:30pm on school days.

Students also have access to electronic resources such as Storybox Library, e-books and audio books. E-books and audio books can be accessed through the Sora link on the Digital Backpack https://backpack.ed.act.edu.au/ as well as through the Oliver library system (see details below) or through the Sora app https://soraapp.com/
