The Williamson Library
Librarian: Mrs A Campbell
Opening times:
The Williamson Library is a very important and central part of Larne
Grammar School. The library is essentially a quiet place where pupils
come to read, study, to work on one of our computers or to unwind in
peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The library is also
used as a 6th form study centre, an essential facility for
those you are studying for 'AS' and 'A' levels.
Homework Club is held after school in the library from Monday to
Thursday until 4:00pm. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate are on sale.
