We have three libraries housing our extensive fiction and non-fiction collections. We make as many books available for borrowing as possible and the online catalogue can be accessed from any computer in the school. As well as supporting our curriculum, we stay abreast of university reading lists to keep our stock as useful as possible. The collection is reviewed and updated frequently, meeting the challenge of keeping pace with the appetite of our younger pupils for fiction titles in particular. If we don't stock a title, we can obtain it on short loan from the British Library or through our subscription to the London Library. As well as providing quiet space for scholarly study, the St Paul's libraries also host various society meetings and more relaxed areas for learning.

There’s also a lot of information about higher education and careers. As well as current material about career options and student finance, we keep copies of most British and American university prospectuses and we hold a range of books offering advice on degree courses and university entrance tests.

We have a broad selection of magazines, newspapers and journals – great for wider reading about a particular subject or just for general interest. We take four British national newspapers every day and subscribe to many magazines that deal with current affairs, art, geography, science, history and English, as well as newspapers in the languages we teach. We also have access to a wide range of online reference sources,including Britannica and New Scientist, and those researching subjects in depth can take advantage of our subscription to JSTOR, the online academic journal library.
