Jacaranda Library
“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist.”
Dr Maria Montessori
The Brisbane Montessori School (BMS) library is a favourite amongst our students and offers a safe and quiet space to read, play, and study, where every student is welcome.
The Jacaranda library hosts over 10,000 books, complete with research computers, spacious reading nooks and desk space for students. The library also has a spacious verandah with plenty of seating for outdoor learning and reading. This space often plays host to an array of performances and events throughout the year.
At our library, students’ independence is a very important part of their library lessons. In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, students are encouraged to borrow and return books on their own and are given the responsibility for managing their own library time. Our full-time Librarian, is always available to assist students with book suggestions, reading and research, and as a guide during family friendly hours.
