The latest additions to this collection include topics such as physics, nutrition and transport. Books are continually being catalogued so check with the Senior Librarian Claudette Malah.
National Library Supports Students
Posted April 2015
The National Library provides a quiet study area for students from SINU and UPS to complete their assignments.
Secondary students usually use the library in the afternoon and library staff are often seen assisting students with their research.
School Library Survey
Posted May 2015
The National Library staff are currently visiting schools in the Honiara region to speak with Principals and Deputy Principals about school libraries.
It has been a good opportunity to explain to school Principals and teaching staff, the role the National Library plays in helping to resource school libraries through the distribution of books, training and workshops for school library staff.
We are also completing a short library survey which will enable us to identify and assist with school library requirements into the future.
National Library Catalogue Automated
Posted May 2015
The Director of National Library Services is proud to announce that Koha library management system has been installed. This means that library patrons now have access the library catalogue online.
Over the coming months, the library catalogue will move from the old card catalogue to an online system making it easier for library users to access information quickly.
