The Primary-library is located on the second floor of the Primary building:
You can instantly see the huge Astrid Lindgren-poster hanging in the window.
Opening Hours: The library is open from Monday through Thursday 8:30am to 1pm. During this time, all classes of the Primary sections as well as L2 –groups accompanied by their teachers are borrowing books every two weeks. Thursday is Mother Tongue Day.
Apart from good books, a library thrives on many details, as there is much to be done – ranging from the binding of new books to book lending and return and the organization of readings! That is the reason why we are so grateful for all the mothers who are supporting us!
Readings, drama and poem- workshops of authors, actors and illustrators, which are offered for kindergarten- children and all classes of the four language sections, are highlights.
The quality of the artist is that what matters. The guest books, which can be viewed in the library, meanwhile show an impressive number of them, including Paul Maar, Kirsten Boie and Anthony Horowitz. Upcoming readings/ workshops will be announced in periodical library newsletters
