Library & Multimedia Learning Hub

At JIS, we actively nurture a love of reading, with the library playing a central role in achieving this goal. Brimming with over 15,000 carefully curated books and multimedia materials, the international section library caters to all reading abilities and interests.

In addition to our extensive collection of novels, picture books and nonfiction resources, our shelves are filled with special collections of early readers, multicultural books in different languages, teacher resources, as well as parent resources. An online catalogue of all titles is accessible from anywhere, extending the library's reach beyond the school walls.

The library is managed by our PYP Coordinator and a library assistant. Each class has a designated library time every week to borrow books, enjoy read-aloud stories, develop research skills, or simply relax with a book.

The library also serves as a hub for inquiry-based learning, providing resources for research aligned with the Programme of Inquiry.

At JIS, we also promote the library as a community space.  Families are invited to visit and enjoy a quiet time in this very special place in the school that boasts of not only stunning views, but also a tatami room - a library feature unique only to JIS (and a perfect place to snuggle up with a book!).
