Our Library staff would like to acquaint the readers with services rendered in the recently upgraded library of Sir M. A. Refalo Sixth Form.
Students are encouraged to make full use of the library for study and research. One can also make use of computers, borrow books, and skim through magazines and journals.
The library collection is catalogued online, and books can be searched by visiting the website maltalibraries.gov.mt under Search the Public Libraries Catalogue. We are now members of the Malta Libraries entity and for actual borrowing of books, one needs to have a valid Membership Card (Karta ta’ Sħubija). With the Libby App, one can access free eBooks, audiobooks, and eMagazines. Now, Maltese language digital books can also be borrowed by creating an Octavo account.
Our library does not offer the sale of books.
Nonetheless, you can buy online or from the main bookshops:
The 2023 – 2025 Students’ Textbook List can be viewed at our school’s website smarsf.edu.mt under Student Information, Booklist.
Thank you for using our library services and we hope that the years you will be spending with us will be fruitful and enjoyable.
