Site 1
The library is situated in a Catholic co-educational secondary college in south-east Queensland. It caters for an enrollment of approximately 970 students in Years 8 to 12 and approximately 70 teaching and ancillary staff. The library is managed by one full-time TL who is assisted by two part-time school officers - information services and resources (IRS), an audiovisual aide (.4) and a text-book hire aide (4 weeks per year).

Due to extensive fire damage at the end of 2011, the library collection, as it was, no longer exists. The TL along with the IRS officers have been relocated to two demountable buildings whilst planning is undertaken to develop the new site. Before the fire the library was home to a sizable collection of approximately 36 000 resources, two teaching spaces with computer access for students, and two teaching spaces with data projector access for teachers.

It has now been three years and the building has finally been completed. There is still work to do but the demountable library is slowly making its way up to the new building.

Site 3
The council library, primary school library, university centre, and high school library visits undertaken for //Designing spaces for learning// amounted to eight hours. They have been included as Site Visit 3 as they played an important role in identifying what is considered important when creating a space that is inviting, engaging, and meets the needs of all users across a variety of contexts.
