Using the library

In year 7 students a have a series of lessons in the autumn term, aiming to give them the necessary skills to use the library for both academic and leisure purposes. Topics include research skills, how to use the subject index, the online library catalogue and the use of non-fiction books. Students also explore fiction genres and how to choose reading books which they will enjoy.  Students are encouraged to use the library to obtain books for Reading at Nobel which takes place twice a week.

Library events

Throughout the school year  we hold events  and activities to encourage reading for pleasure. We hold author talks, writing and poetry workshops. We have taken students to the cinema and to outside book related events.

We also run book groups which take part in the North Hertfordshire Schools Book Award and National book awards such as the Carnegie Book Award.  We also hold activities around World Book Day and other special events.

Opening times

Monday-Thursday : 8.30-4.30pm

Friday: 8.30-4pm

We are open during break, lunch and after school for students to borrow books, read, research and complete pre and post lesson tasks.
