Since September 2016, the school has two libraries:

• The P2–P5 Library, located in the Erasmus Building.
• The Nursery and P1 Library, located in the Fabiola Building.

The libraries are managed by the library team, with the valuable support of volunteer parents, who help ensure their smooth operation.

Visiting the Library

Pupils visit the library:

• with their teachers during class time;
• with the monitors during the lunch break.

Throughout the school year, the library team welcomes pupils and supports them in developing a love of reading, information literacy skills, and confidence in choosing books suited to their interests and reading level.

Library Collection

The libraries offer more than 35,000 items in Danish, English, French, German, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Maltese, Polish, Slovenian, and Spanish.

The collection includes:

• fiction for children aged 4–12;
• non-fiction books covering subjects such as geography, history, science, technology, nature, the human body, space, sport, religion, art, and music;
• magazines and periodicals;
• CDs and DVDs.

Library Services

Pupils can:

• read books or search for information;
• borrow up to two books for two weeks (lost books must be replaced);
• prepare presentations and school projects;
• receive guidance from the library team in selecting books and carrying out research.

Reading Promotion and Educational Projects

The library team develops and organises a wide range of initiatives to promote reading, culture, and multilingualism. These include:

• activities enabling pupils to enrich their general knowledge, develop their curiosity and explore different genres and reading worlds;
• reading projects encouraging pupils’ engagement, the sharing of reading experiences and the development of critical thinking skills;
• activities based on book selection and appreciation, allowing pupils to express their opinions, justify their choices and develop their oral and written communication skills;
• meetings with authors and book professionals, giving pupils a better understanding of the literary creation process and stimulating their imagination;
• themed readings and activities based on stories and storytelling;
• various reading promotion initiatives encouraging pupils’ independence, cultural discovery and openness to multilingualism.

The libraries also work closely with teachers to support classroom projects and provide resources adapted to the different year groups and language sections.

Well-being and Inclusion

The library team contributes to the school’s KiVa programme by providing a selection of books and resources that promote respect, empathy, inclusion, and the prevention of bullying.

The libraries provide a welcoming environment where pupils can learn, read, explore, exchange ideas, and grow together in a caring and supportive atmosphere.

Acknowledgements

The school sincerely thanks the volunteer parents whose commitment contributes to the successful running of the libraries.

Library Team

The team consists of two librarians, supported by a dedicated group of volunteer mothers, whose valuable contribution helps ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the libraries.

Throughout the school year, we welcome pupils to our libraries. Classes visit with their teachers, and pupils are also welcome during the lunch break under the supervision of the monitors. We are committed to fostering a love of reading, developing pupils’ research skills, and helping each child choose books that match their age, interests, and reading level.
