Welcome to St John Fisher Library

St John Fisher’s Library is more than a place to borrow books. It is a special place for students to gather, collaborate, socialise, learn, create, and relax. It is a place of inclusivity and belonging and serves as the heart of our school.

Marian students and families can access a meticulously curated and contemporary collection of resources including Non-Fiction and Fiction books, graphic novels, magazines, picture books, websites, and electronic databases in a dynamic and vibrant hub of learning and discovery.
