The Glenmoor & Winton Library is located in the Winton Academy site - Winton Lower 06.

During lesson times the library is utilised by staff, as a quiet and inspiring space for students. Students can borrow books at break and lunch, as well as reading or completing homework if required. Books can also be borrowed online at https://libib.com/u/gandw. Books will then be delivered to students during the school day.

All staff and students have been set up with a library account. Simply visit https://www.libib.com/u/gandw. This can be viewed on mobile phones or on desktop computers. If using the site for the first time, click 'Forgot Password' then type in the student's school email address. This will send a temporary password to the student's school email address, which can be accessed at https://outlook.office.com.

If students have forgotten how to log in to their Office account then please email smhw@glenmoorandwinton.org.uk for a password reset.

Once students log in they can borrow up to 3 books at a time. Please see the guidance below. Once a book loan has been approved by the library team it will be delivered to the student during class.

Students can also borrow books at lunch and break (see opening times for further information) from the library in WL06. 

As a result of guidelines and restrictions on the space available, we currently can accept no more than 15-20 students in the space at any one time. Any students not utilising the space in an appropriate manner will be asked to leave.

Current lending rules as follows:

• Books can initially be borrowed for 21* days. Students can extend this by a further 21 days by logging in to https://libib.com/u/gandw and renewing the book on their patron page. Books can be extended for a week at a time, a total of three times.
• Extensions can be requested beyond the time period by emailing office@glenmoorandwinton.org.uk or speaking to a librarian.
• Popular books such as manga or graphic novels may be requested to be returned sooner if many students are requesting the same book
• DVDs can be borrowed for 7 days.

*Manga can only be borrowed for 7 days due to its popularity.

Books can be dropped off at the following locations during the school day:

• Glenmoor Lower 8 (Admin office)
• Student Reception
• Visitor Reception
• Winton Library (Winton Lower 6) - Lunchtimes only

If no member of staff is present, please keep the book on you and return it at another time when staff are available to take the book. 

We currently do not charge fines for overdue books however if a book is returned in a damaged condition, or is lost, we will ask for the book to be replaced. If a student consistently fails to return books we will restrict their ability to borrow from the library. We make a note of any books that are already in poor condition, to ensure that students are not unfairly charged for a replacement.

Staff and students can request books to be ordered by completing the book order form link under the 'useful links section' of this page.
