Welcome
At New Farm State School library we aim to create a welcoming environment that supports and encourages student learning and discovery, while promoting a love of reading. Our library includes a range of children's literature including fiction and non-fiction for the upper and lower school. The library also supports school staff with teaching and curriculum resources.
