About the LRC
The LRC is run using the Eclipse computerised fingerprint system. All pupils & staff are entered into the computer and each person has their own account. ALL items must be checked out and returned through the computer at the issues desk in order to keep the LRC running efficiently.
Each person is allowed 2 items at a time. Books & audio tapes are loaned for 2 weeks, videos are loaned for 2 NIGHTS only. All resources can be renewed by bringing them in to the issues desk.
Opening times: Monday - Friday 8.45am - 4.00pm,
Overdue notices are put into registers, with a letter being sent home if the pupil does not return or renew after two overdues. Books can be renewed even if they are not in school - just come to library and ask to renew. Books which are unavailable at the time can be requested and notification of availability is given via form tutors.
Newspapers & magazines
In the LRC you will find copies of The Independent, The Accrington Observer, First News and a selection of special interest and hobby magazines.

Book Club
Fantastic savings can be made by ordering your books from the Scholastic C2C catalogues
available in the LRC.
Produced five times a year, these colourful catalogues offer popular books at low, low prices.
From young people to adults, there is something for everyone.
You only order what you want... with no further obligation to buy. Everytime you place an order through school we receive free books for the LRC. Catalogues are available from the LRC or the English department. Complete the order form at the back of the catalogue, return to Mrs Ainsworth in the LRC together with a cheque for the full amount, payable to 'Scholastic Ltd'. Delivery is free.
