Walthamstow School for Girls

The Online LRC

Using the school LRC computer system from home

Our LRC system, Microlibrarian.net, is available for you to use at home. All students have been e-mailed with their own log-in and the system is accessible via the school website and this link

There are links to external websites which can support homework and are suitable for the age group of all students across the school.

We hope you enjoy using the system and feel free to add reviews about the books you are reading.
