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.
