More than a thousand young members and over 5,000 books. And growing everyday!

Members come to study, browse and borrow,  get support with their homework and join one of the many library activities.

​

Most of our members are first generation learners from migrant families. The majority are attending government school while some are awaiting enrollment or attending private schools.

The library is a refuge where reading and study is supported
