Becoming a Library Prefect

WHAT IS A LIBRARY PREFECT?

To answer the question above; A Library Prefect is a Defender of the Library. That boy or girl who's glaring at you when you KNOW you've been a bit too loud. You may see a girl scanning the shelves, making sure that every book is in its correct position. You may not see two boys at a computer, download games, or browsing Facebook.

The above mentions and much more are involved in being a Library Prefect.

If you are a student in form two or three and love serving, then GUESS what we need... you.
