i give mine a 6.5/10
we lack books :burn: and the printer/photocopier is always "out of order". all the students know that there's nothing wrong with it but the old man who lives in the library likes to watch us suffer.

limited hsc related books, librarians always yell at us for no reason during study periods, limited computer supply (the juniors 'shotgun' them first lol)...

Senior Library is a joke - but at least it's a place to study I guess. I dunno what to give it - haven't seen many other schools' libraries.

I'd give mine ~7/8.

The books for humanities are awesome, the science/math ones need a bit of updating although preference is given to seniors so it is a good place to study i you want some quiet/a computer ^^

i give say 5
mainly because in the library, there is a librarian who is a weee bit off her chops. umm 8 computers in the whole library XD
do they have enough HSC resources? i meant have to find out
but the seniors have priority on computers and the photocopier and printers are always in order, plenty of paper...ink... yep, average

Possibly a 7/10 for study, books, computers, photocopying.

10/10 for free periods. Hide and seek, treasure hunt, whatever. Fun part is trying not to let the librarian know we're playing lol.

give them 10. purely based on the fact that if i ever wanted a book but cbb buying it myself, all i had to do was ask the library staff and they'd have it within 3 days. and i always got first reserve on it :D


though negative points for the purple/green colour scheme. nothing sus apparently, they wanted it to look like a rainbow... sure...

i'll give mine 5.5/10

there are good resources and is a good place for free periods, but theres so many distractions while studying and the printers don't seem to work properly.

my schools library is basically for the primary - yr 9 kids
but its more than compensated for with a non-supervised study room (good for when no-one feels like studying - yet still big enough if ppl are being idiots and u want to study) & laptops :)
+ all of our teachers seem to have all the study books we could ever want (dotpoint, excel, surfing...)

6-7. Fair few amount of computers, laptops if you can't get a computer, silent study area. But there isn't enough new textbooks. We have heaps of textbooks from the old syllabuses.

Frikkin library staff are insane. Paranoid and obsessed man, I swear.

Staff=0
Rest of library=8

So 8+0/2 = 4

An 8. The staff are friendly and the library is big and has a lot of resources. It's just an alright library. Not great but good.

It's very basic.... but good enough.

Noise level - 9/10 - It's super quiet and people are really nice inside the Library
Resources - 6/10 - Yea, they kinda suck, but my maths teacher finds really good ones for me.
Librarian - 9/10 - hahaha, funny man. He's also the careers teacher.

Average it to scrape a 8/10 I guess.
