School Library

A quick Google AI on "good reasons to read books" includes mental stimulation, stress reduction, knowledge acquisition, vocabulary expansion, and improved memory and focus.  We cannot disagree with that.  But the library is not just about books - although we have over 5000 of them!   

Your library off Milton Galleries is open to you at your designated break and lunch-times.   If you are looking for some information or a resource item speak to Mrs Lockie, our Library Coordinator, who will help you. 

Look out for the competitions, author visits and book fairs that take place throughout the year.

Cannot find the book you want to read or your favourite author?  Speak to Mrs Lockie and if appropriate for you and other students, the school will seek to get it for you to borrow. 

Your library account

Students can access the library's resources via your own personal school library account. You can renew, reserve and review books/resources items too.  It's free to borrow books from your Library.

Log on to the Oliver Blue School Library system by using your Gmail account details.

There is also a new FREE APP called Library Link that is available from the Apple App store and Google Play store. 

Once downloaded log into your account via a browser and within 'My Details' click on the 'Library Link setup'.  Scan the displayed QR code using the App via the Setup button and using 'SCAN SETUP CODE' at the top.  This will enter all the details required automatically - see the Oliver App Instructions for more information.

Library Link allows borrowers to: 

  • Search for resources and view information about them, such as availability
  • Scan ISBNs or barcodes to automatically retrieve resources from the system
  • View the library's latest resources
  • View their current loads and renew them as permitted
  • Check their alert messages for overdues and reservations
  • Browse the library's reading lists
