Our vision and mission

The mission of the St Joseph’s Convent, P. O. S. Library Media Program is to provide an inviting, accessible and stimulating environment in which students develop into effective and efficient users of information in all formats and to promote the habit of reading for pleasure. 
Our school library will become the school's learning commons- a
place to develop and demonstrate exemplary educational practices; the dynamic hub of collaborative knowledge management, literacy and technological programs within our learning community and offer a supportive, information rich environment in which learners are simultaneously engaged and challenged.

New @ our library

Hot off the shelves! And all available now @ your library... and if you click on a book's cover, you can find out more about that book and its author.What is that book about? Find out if a book is right for you or join the conversation and add a review. I'll post the newest ones here every week! If you don't see anything you like? OK, then let us know what we're missing.
