Welcome to the Enniskillen Royal Grammar School Library webpage. The school has two libraries, one on the Cooper Crescent site and one on the Lough Shore site. This webpage provides information about the opening hours, what the libraries offer, how to use them, access to Eclipse (Library management system) and news of library events.

Students are welcome to use the libraries before, during and after school. The libraries are great places to meet other students, get help with homework, study or read. There are lots of activities and events planned throughout the year (see below).

How to use the libraries:

Key stage 3/4 Students can borrow 3 items for 3 weeks. Sixth form students may borrow up to 6 items for 3 weeks. Staff can borrow resources also.

A list of overdues is generated every Wednesday and e-mailed to tutors or printed for students. A comment will be placed in student planner if the item(s) are not returned. Individual overdues will then follow, after which a letter will be sent to parents. Replacement costs will be requested for any item(s) lost or damaged.

Students can request item(s) through the Librarian or through Eclipse.

Eclipse (Library management software):

Eclipse is the computer software programme used by the Librarians to issue/return book. All students and staff have access to Eclipse through My School and can check stock, read book blurb/reviews and request item(s). In addition there are features such as Book of the Week, Who Next and Author video clips.
