Our library is a dynamic, inclusive space for students to immerse in a wide variety of quality texts to engage in and develop the love of literature and learning. With an ever increasing collection, the Manly State School Library provides the school community with access to high quality fiction and non-fiction books. We also provide each student access to the eBook library.
Borrowing and Lessons
In conjunction with library lessons for Years 1-3, Manly State School Library provides a space where every student has the opportunity to borrow literature of their choice. Books are borrowed for a 2 week period, although we are flexible to allow students to return and borrow at their leisure prior to the 2 week due date.
Students may borrow:
Prep to Year 2 3 books
We encourage this includes 1 book to look at, 1 to read with an adult and 1 to read for pleasure.
Years 3-6 2 books

We use Infiniti as our catalogue system. Parents and students can have access to this. Manly SS Infiniti Link
