Library

Welcome to the Edenbrook Secondary College Library!

We welcome all students to this safe, relaxed, and enjoyable place to discover and grow their love of books everyday before school, at recess and lunchtimes.

The library has a collection of over 1700 books on our shelves. The Fiction collection is categorised by genre making it easy for students to find a style of book they enjoy.  We have a monthly delivery of new books and also encourage students to have their say in building our collection. Let Ms Barker know your favourite book or if there’s a new book coming out that we MUST have!

To borrow a book, bring it to the front desk and let Ms Barker know your name or present your Compass ID card. Loans are for 3 weeks and a limit of 2 books per student.
To return books please bring them to the front desk upon entry.

In addition to our physical books, we also have a new ePlatorm Digital Library of over 2000 eBooks and 1000 audiobooks to loan and listen to or read on a device. See below for further instructions on accessing this.

The library hosts fortnightly visits from English and Connect classes to support the curriculum and encourage enjoyment of reading.

Every student is expected to read for 20 minutes per day and is also registered with the Premiers Reading Challenge. Students have been provided with their log in details and can log in here.  

We host the Cardinia Youth Services lunchtime visits on a Wednesday  and have a range of games on offer for students on a Friday lunchtime.

Things to know…

Books are loaned for 2 weeks and are automatically returned to the ‘shelf’ for other users to borrow after this time. Reserves can be made if they are already on loan and you will be notified when the book becomes available. 
Students log in with their Compass credentials.

You can change the way you view the book, change the text, sizing and switch to night mode! 

These options are dyslexic friendly and helpful for students needing some extra support, audio assistance options are available. You can also highlight, search and define new words to improve understanding and help build vocabulary. 

Here is a video tutorial on getting started and how to adjust the reading settings
