The Maru-a-Pula School Library

Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark … In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed.
~ Geramine Greer.

The Maru-a-Pula School Library offers opportunities for research, reading and community. With spaces for collaborative and independent study, the library is where students engage with different ideas in the way most conducive to their own learning.
