'The aim of the War Memorial Committee is to establish a collection of books worthy of the School, in a room worthy to commemorate those who served in the war.' (The Plymothian, July 1948)

Honouring these original intentions, the library is tradition brought up-to-date and looks to the future in terms of supporting the curriculum and all areas of school life. The library is a light and spacious area where pupils have internet access as well as a range of books, cd-roms, newspapers, periodicals and other reference facilities. The library is open before school, during break and lunchtime and until the start of supervised prep at 4.10 pm. During lesson time it is used by classes or groups researching specific areas; for sixth form private study and as a place where pupils who need extra time to support core subjects can work. During prep time it is available for research. During the course of the year, events such as the Poetry and English Speaking competitions are also held in the library. The atmosphere is normally a quiet hum of work, research or reading.
