Read - Think - Grow
Welcome to Baradene Library.
We aim to provide a warm, friendly and welcoming environment where staff and students are supported in their reading and learning needs. To provide a wide range of resources and an accessible inclusive collection. To motivate students to love and enjoy reading. To facilitate knowledge building using technology and resources available. To put the library at the centre of school life and learning at Baradene College.
The library at Baradene is your library so please help us make it what you want it to be. If there is a book you think we need or you have an idea to improve the library please let us know! There is a suggestion box in the library or send an email to [email protected].
If there is anything you need help with, like what to read next or where to find information, please ask! We would love to help.
