Our Library

Newton Central School

Our school library boasts an extensive and comprehensive range of books for reading and research. 

Children are encouraged to use the library through a variety of activities. It is open in the lunch time breaks. 

Children are allowed to loan 2 books per week. 

Teachers take their class once a week to the library for a library lesson, returning and issuing books. They often share stories and take a lesson on building library skills and knowledge.
