Main Library

At the largest school library in Greece, we offer junior high and high school students all the necessary tools to do research projects and deepen their knowledge.

Athens College Library began its operation in the 1930s within the spaces of Benaki Hall.  Its collection was organized more systematically in the 1950s.  Since 1964, it is housed in its own 1300 m2 building on the Psychico campus, a structure designed by architect and Athens College alumnus, Pavlos Mylonas.

Opening Hours:  Monday-Friday 08.15-17.00, Saturday 11:00-16:00

During holidays and summer break, operating hours may change. 

 

At the Main Athens College Library, we have:

  • 100,000 Greek and foreign volumes in Greek and English
  • subscriptions to electronic databases
  • 200 current titles of printed and digital journals/magazines and newspapers
  • a rich selection of audiovisual materials
  • 200 study stations and 140 computers & laptops
  • the D-Space institutional repository in order to collect, organize, promote, and maintain materials produced at the College

 

The Children Act

The Children Act

“Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding over cases in family court. She is fiercely intelligent, well respected, and deeply immersed in the nuances of her particular field of law. But Fiona's professional success belies domestic strife.  She decides to throw herself into her work, especially a complex case.

“Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding over cases in family court. She is fiercely intelligent, well respected, and deeply immersed in the nuances of her particular field of law. Often the outcome of a case seems simple from the outside, the course of action to ensure a child's welfare obvious. But the law requires more rigor than mere pragmatism, and Fiona is expert in considering the sensitivities of culture and religion when handing down her verdicts.But Fiona's professional success belies domestic strife. Her husband, Jack, asks her to consider an open marriage and, after an argument, moves out of their house. His departure leaves her adrift, wondering whether it was not love she had lost so much as a modern form of respectability; whether it was not contempt and ostracism she really fears. She decides to throw herself into her work, especially a complex case involving a seventeen-year-old boy whose parents will not permit a lifesaving blood transfusion because it conflicts with their beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses. But Jack doesn't leave her thoughts, and the pressure to resolve the case—as well as her crumbling marriage—tests Fiona in ways that will keep readers thoroughly enthralled until the last stunning page.”
