Library expands at Ettalong

Ettalong Public School Library has started the New Year by significantly expanding the resources and technology available to school students.

The school has purchased seven new computers with internet access, making 27 computers in total with the internet.

"Students will now have access to a range of information and knowledge far beyond the realms of even the encyclopaedia," according to school principal Mr Bruce Donaldson.

Seven inquiry terminals were also installed, "designed to help in the fast and efficient location of resources".

"We look forward to a year where every student in the school brings in a library bag and takes advantage of the vast amount of knowledge and resources based within the walls of our school library," Mr Donaldson said.

Students at the school had one library lesson per week in class time and could visit the library every lunchtime, he said.
