IGBIS has dedicated library spaces for Elementary and Secondary students. Both libraries contain an extensive collection of nonfiction, fiction, e-books, and audiobooks. Students, families and staff also have access to databases and online resources through our Destiny Catalogue. The library is open from 7:30am until 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. Elementary students and their parents may visit the library before and after school. However, after school all Elementary students need to be supervised by an adult during their visit. Secondary students may visit the library independently throughout the day.
Elementary and EY classes have a 40-minute library lesson once a week. During this time, the Teacher Librarian works on developing information literacy skills, promotes reading for pleasure, supports the curriculum and encourages students to become lifelong readers through reading promotions and events. The Teacher Librarian also works closely with subject/homeroom teachers to ensure the libraries support the IB Units of Inquiry, IB Learner Profiles and the IGBIS mission and vision.
