AICS Libraries
Reading is at the core of our activities. Our library has a magnificent collection of more than 60,000 books. While most of our books are in English, we are actively expanding our collection in other languages spoken by students and teachers, including Dutch, French, Italian, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic, and others.
We encourage students to borrow books and read as much as possible. Therefore, parents are encouraged to visit after school hours to borrow books for their children and themselves.

Primary Library
Every week, we meet with each primary group to read a story or learn more about information literacy. During this time, children borrow books to take home for the week.
Britannica School
With Britannica School, students can explore topics and find related images, videos, web sites, and journal articles. Helpful tools, such as a built-in dictionary, translator, and text-to-speech reader, make articles easy to read. Britannica School is an excellent start to any research project.
