Promotion of Reading

Kelty Resource Centre
St Patrick's College, Ballarat

There are many different ways a school library can support reading and increase literacy in a school. The most valuable resources in a library are its people and champions. At St Patrick's College we are very lucky to be supported by our Principal, Mr John Crowley. 
 Great people build great libraries.
Why invest in libraries - Stephen Krashen
