# Library

Hello there,

We are **Miss Dyer** and **Miss Potter**, we are the USH School Librarians and we are supported by an enthusiastic team of student Library Monitors.

Our school Library is a comfortable, welcoming, and inclusive space where every student can discover the enjoyment of reading. Whether you are looking for your next favourite book, somewhere quiet to study, or recommendations from fellow readers, the Library is here for you.

We offer a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, reading resources, book groups, and activities for students to enjoy.

We are open from 8:00am until 3:50pm (3:15pm on Fridays), except when we are supporting learning elsewhere in the school. Students are welcome to visit during tutor time, break, lunch, and after school during these opening hours.

**Students can borrow up to three books for three weeks, completely free of charge!**

To help create a positive environment for everyone, we ask all Library users to respect the space, work considerately alongside others, and enjoy food and drink outside the Library.

If you would like to request a book, submit a book review, or suggest a title that you think should be added to our collection, we would love to hear from you.

**Just a little note for Parents and Carers...**

If you have any questions about the Library, Accelerated Reader programme, or how you can encourage reading at home, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are always happy to offer advice, recommendations, and support.

We look forward to seeing in the Library soon!
