Mrs Jane Welby MCLIP
The college library is for the use of all members of the community and I am always happy to help if I can. Pupils know that they can ask for help to find information and for resources to help them with their school work. For staff, topic collections for classroom use can be borrowed from the North Devon Schools’ Library Service. Our stock is supplemented by books on long term loan from SLS and these are exchanged regularly for new books. If you can’t find what you are looking for, just ask!

Department Overview
The library provides study facilities, computer access and a selection of books, magazines and other resources to support pupils and staff with their academic work and for recreational activities.
Facilities
The college collection of books is supplemented by an exchange collection from the Schools’ Library Service to which Shebbear College subscribes. These books can be exchanged at regular intervals - a good way of ensuring that our library is kept up to date. Books can be borrowed by all members of the college community and a simple issuing system enables loans to be made at any time.
In addition, topic collections can be ordered by staff to support work in the classrooms.
In the Classroom
Pupils in Forms 1 and 2 have Library Skills lessons as part of their practical carousel. During the course of these sessions they learn to locate, select and evaluate information – and acquire skills which can help them with all aspects of their learning. .
Beyond the Classroom
Book Fairs are held at regular intervals and in connection with World Book Day. The library supports the college participation in Readathon and in shadowing the Carnegie Award.
