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

Our House

Author : Vaggelis Iliopoulos
Edition : Children's Legal Library
Class name : 2nd - 3rd grades



In his book “Our House,” Vaggelis Iliopoulos raises the subject of homeless people and respect for their rights: an issue that children encounter everyday on city streets and one that prompts them to ask questions to which we often don’t know how to answer.  The book’s story will help them to respond to this matter with empathy.  The girl who lives in a car with her father will not evoke in them a sense of pity. It will help them to recognize that she is a child like all others who has a right to grow up in a home.
