The life and times of the Harrow Library...


There are lots of different things that us librarians love. As one of the students pointed out today when we watched the Cookie Monster video - "the library has more than just books. We have other things too! What about DVDs and all that other stuff over there?"

And that's only the physical sources you can see in the Library. We also have some great electronic resources like Tumblebooks, EBSCO and Encyclopaedia Britannica.
You can access these through the library part of the Harrow website.
Just click on Harrow Bangkok, School Life, The Library and choose Electronic Resources.

You will be prompted for a login - if you don't know what it is please ask one of our Library team.

And of course, there's also the internet.
It's a magical place. It can be full of shonky information though. If you're not sure how to search it to find the best results, please let us know. We can help. We're librarians, it's what we do.

You can find so much more information than you could only a few years ago.
It's also good for ridiculous diversions. One of my favourites being LOL cats.
You can also see other LOL animals here.
For those of you who don't know what LOL means (where have you been?!)maybe you could ask the Oxford English Dictionary! (Wow, that's pretty impressive - one little piece of internet slang making it into one of the world's most well known dictionaries!)
