The Wainuiomata High School Library has a central role to play in meeting the educational goals of the school by providing a welcoming environment that supports the school's curriculum and equity goals and encourages reading as a lifelong habit.

    Tuesday to Friday 8.30am to 4.00pm

All library users are expected to:

  • be respectful of other library users
  • be kind to books and computers - this includes leaving food, drink, gum, etc. outside the library
  • leave bags and jackets in the shelves provided in the entrance foyer (but keep valuables on your person)
  • have your ID card if you want to borrow books, use the computers or use the photocopier/printer
  • have a note from your teacher, and show it to library staff, if you come to the library during class time
  • ask a librarian for help if you need it

Student Librarians
A team of student librarians is organised by a senior student. Each member of the team receives training and is rostered to assist in the library at least one interval or lunchtime each week.
