Library
Welcome to the EPHS Library! The library is a central point in school for students’ reading and research needs and is located on the ground floor of C Block. We have close to 10,000 items in our collection including fiction and non-fiction books, comics, graphic novels, text books and revision guides, journals, magazines and newspapers. Every Elthorne Park High School student is automatically a member of the Library - their school ID card is also their library card. The library is open Monday-Friday, and is accessible to specific year groups during morning break and lunchtime, when students can borrow and return books, carry out research or homework, access the printer/photocopier and library chromebooks or read quietly. The professional library staff are always available to help with student enquiries and book requests.

![]() Ms Martino graduated from Northumbria University with a BA (Hons) degree in Modern Languages and Political Studies.
She worked abroad teaching English and then pursued a career in marketing and label management in the music industry for 10 years before taking a break to raise a family. She then retrained as a librarian and qualified with a MSc in Library and Information Science from City University with a particular interest in library spaces. This is her first job working in a school library and she is passionate about encouraging and supporting reading and research across the whole Elthorne community and helping students access the right resources for their needs. She will do practically anything to extol the merits of reading for pleasure. Not surprisingly, she is a total bookworm and her favourite book is 'Revolutionary Road' by Richard Yates. She likes nothing more than hearing and sharing what staff and students are reading. |
