Middleton Grange Primary Library

The Primary Library is located in the ground floor of the historic Bowen homestead in the middle of the Primary campus. It serves pupils in Years 0-6. The library is light, bright and welcoming with three interlinking spaces: a reference and ICT-enhanced area with computer catalogues and internet access, a large reading pit and a collection space. The collection comprises approximately 8500 items. The learning outcomes of the school's reading programme and individual pupils' reading are very well supported through the library's collection, which also meets pupils' information needs.
