Welcome to our Library!

 

During “Library Time,” students have an opportunity to select and borrow books of interest to them, as well as to participate in information literacy lessons and complete small projects.  Students can also visit the library and make use of its equipment during breaks in their timetable.

The library participates in the International Baccalaureate PYP (Primary Years Programme), currently in a pilot stage at the elementary schools, through corresponding thematic units and literacy programs aimed at raising children’s awareness of books and reading.

At the Athens College Elementary School Library, we have:

  • 20,500 titles in greek and foreign languages
  • a rich selection of audiovisual materials
  • board games
  • subscriptions to electronic databases
  • an online catalogue
  • 40 computers
