Library News

Book Club meets twice a term and there is always a lively discussion about books in general. Newbies are always welcome. Click here to check out what we have been chatting about.

Being a Public Library and a School Library means we have a fantastic number of new books available to borrow every month. Click here to check out the new books for April. If you are wondering what to read next, check out the great reading ideas on the Riccarton High Library website.

Are you a writer? There are a number of writing competitions open to high school students. Check out the list here.
