Mission Statement

The BSW Library Resource Centers (LRCs) are the information hub for the school. BSW maintains two LRCs, one focusing on the needs of the Lower School (Nursery – Year 6) and one focusing on the needs of the Upper School (Years 7 – 13).

In support of BSW's commitment to educational excellence, each LRC collects, organizes, and facilitates access to information resources in many formats.

Because teaching is at the heart of what a school library represents, the LRCs support teaching, learning, and research in an intellectually and culturally open environment and provide instruction in the use of traditional and new information technologies, thus enhancing and reinforcing the school curriculum of educating students for the 21st Century.

On-Line Resources Enhance Learning

Our librarian, Mrs. Thompson, has created a new BSW library website containing library information along with many useful online resources.

The purpose of the website is to help direct students to reputable, reviewed, online resources to guide their learning. In addition to resources for research, the website also contains links to free online books, online dictionaries, citation resources, and subject specific help.

CLICK HERE to access the Library website. Click on the alphabetically arranged tabs to view the different resources. New resources will be added throughout the year so please check back often.

Volunteers

Parents help in many different ways at the library—from shelving books to assisting with the computer cataloguing system. Interested in becoming a library volunteer? Please contact Mrs. Thompson at s.thompson@wclschools.org
