COVID-19 UPDATEIt is with heavy hearts that we temporarily close the doors to our school library. However, our library team remain committed to helping our students to the best of our abilities during this difficult time. We are using this site to provide useful learning resources for students and parents regarding learning at home. We will continue to use Accelerated Reader with S1 students during this time and we have extended the timeframe of our S2 First Minister Reading Challenges to the end of the school year. We encourage students and parents to follow our Twitter account for regular updates and links to new resource materials.
Accessing eBooks and ResourcesPrestwick Academy School Library remains part of South Ayrshire Council's public library system. All students are issued a South Ayrshire library card at the start of S1. This allows free access to online resources including audio books and e-books using the Libby App.
