About The Library

Welcome to CFCS Library.  In fact there are three libraries at CFCS, at the Mansion, and in the Upper and Lower Junior Departments.

The Senior School Library is centrally located in one of the principal rooms of the Mansion, once the dining room.  The room now houses a collection of some 8000 resources, which can be accessed from an online catalogue. The computer system is Eclipse, and its features include images, summaries, reviews and website links.  Three networked computers are available, and there is wireless access to the network and internet for laptops.

The Library is open throughout the school day, from 8 am, and is popular for break and lunchtime activities.

The Upper Junior Department Library is centrally located in the Close, with about 3500 items. An online catalogue is now available, using the new computer system Junior Librarian, which will include the features available in the Senior School.

The Lower Junior Department Library is housed in the LJs Entrance Hall, with about 1500 books.

The Library takes an enthusiastic part in promoting Book Weeks, World Book Day and National Poetry Day, and we regularly welcome authors, poets and illustrators to speak to our students, and organise Book Fairs and other fun events.
