Library
The Terrace Library’s mission is to facilitate a dynamic space that contributes to a centre of leisure reading, information, inquiry, innovation and instructional excellence for the Terrace Community. This library aims to follow the Edmund Rice tradition through providing the gifts of community and learning to Terrace.
Our library is the information - technology - learning hub of the school. This busy place supports staff and students in enriching and enhancing their personal, academic and professional goals.
As a space, the library is both physical and virtual. It is a space where people can investigate and enjoy information in all its forms and revel in the pleasure that literature and the pursuit of learning, brings to our lives. The library provides a pleasant atmosphere of quiet to support the positive learning habits of students, especially the vitally important habit of reading.
