Borrowing

Students may borrow books for a period of 14 (ES) or 28 (MS and HS) days. If the loans are not reserved, they can be renewed in the library. In the absence of the librarian, the pupils are asked to fill in a paper form in order to check out books from the MS-HS library. A lost or damaged book must be compensated for by paying a fee.

Students need a library card to check out books with the lending machine at the ES library. The library card will be applied for via a special form that will be returned to the library.

Behaviour in the library

  • No drinking or eating
  • When talking, use quiet voices
  • Computer games are not allowed
  • Students doing schoolwork are always given priority for computer use
  • Avoid using mobile phones
