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
  • an interactive whiteboard

If you can self-deprecate, if you can forgive, if you love the friends you have chosen to love, if you see beauty where there is none, well then… anything can happen.  Even a miracle!

“I know I am no ordinary nine year old boy.  What I mean is, of course I do ordinary things.  I eat ice cream.  I ride a bike.  I play ball.  I have an Xbox.  Those are the things that make me an ordinary child.  At least I think so.  Besides, I feel ordinary... inside.  I know, however, that people don’t look strangely at ordinary children... I know that ordinary children don’t make other children run away screaming from the playground.”
