Our library is a friendly communal space in our school and everyone is welcome. It is well equipped with computers, a large book collection, games and activities for students to use.
Opening Times for the library
The library is open before school from 8.15 am and after school until 3.15 pm. Parents are welcome to visit with their children. Students can also access the Library during the first break.
Borrowing at Mitchie
All students require a library bag with them in order to borrow and return books from the library. The school uniform shop sells high quality library bags and this is our recommendation.
The following are the borrowing limits for each year level. Students may choose any combination of Fiction and Non Fiction.

Online Library Management System
We have an online library management system called Concord Infiniti.
These books and categories have been picked by the Library so students can easily find their favourite books.
To access our regular library system, students can login using their existing username, and their designated library password. Students can visit the library to request their password.
eBooks and Audiobooks
Mitchelton State School has access to the Education Queensland online library at Sora which allows you to read books on any device.
You can access the Education Queensland Library by going to https://soraapp.com/library/eduqueenslandau
Students login with their username and borrow what they would like to read.
You can access Sora on your mobile or tablet by searching the app store for Sora.
Damaged and Lost Books
Please encourage your child to take care of our books by keeping them away from drink bottles, pets, younger siblings etc. as the cost of replacement is high and as books go out of print they are not always easy to replace.
