A dynamic environment to inspire, engage and extend our students’ love of literature and learning.
Ashgrove State School Library is a place where every student visits for a weekly lesson and to borrow from our general collection. The collection (in excess of 15,000 resources) provides the school community with access to high quality books, DVDs, posters, computer software as well as extensive Scientific and Mathematical equipment.

A wonderful resource for parents who are looking for book suggestions is to head to the Premier’s Reading Challenge (QLD) Booklist. Compiled by teacher-librarians, the lists offer a wide variety of books and also gives a short blurb on each. We find this list useful when we are looking to engage or extend readers.
