CSPD school libraries are physical and digital places of inquiry and reading.
They provide access to a range of resources that help students on their learning journey and help inspire purposeful learning.
Through access to our library resources and services, students develop a range of learner dispositions and capabilities to cultivate a culture of curiosity, creativity, imagination and innovation.
Our physical library
The beautiful St Columba's College library is housed in the site’s former chapel, a historic space used by the seminarians until 1979 and the college and parish until 1996. It is an engaging and contemporary hub where students can explore a broad range of materials, including digital resources.
Students can access the library every school day for research and study, small group work, and recreational reading. The library also has a wonderful stock of board games, chess sets and decks of cards.
Student support
Experienced library staff are on hand to assist students with locating quality information from reliable sources and to ensure information is used in an ethical manner. All library staff have a passion for literature and enjoy helping students to find their next ‘great read’.
