Located on the Lycée's main campus, our library offers over 5,000 books in French and English. Our video collection available for rent features more than 400 titles in both languages for children and adults.

All students can enjoy a visit to the “Reading Room,” our fiction area. Pre-school and kindergarten classes are brought to the library for story hours and book browsing. During the school year, parents may check out books for their children. Beginning in 1st grade, students can check out books during class visits––weekly with French language teachers and bimonthly with English language teachers. Individual checkout is encouraged in the upper grades.

Beginning in 3rd grade, students also have access to the non-fiction “Documentary Room” for research purposes.

The library also organizes an annual subscription campaign for French books and magazines, our annual Book Fair with a wonderful selection of children books from France, and a used-book sale. (Books in English are offered for purchase through Scholastic catalogs provided by the English teachers approximately three times per year.)

Rules for Students

Students are taught to treat the books with care, be quiet and calm, and respect the environment. Games, chatting and food are not permitted.

Checking Out Books, Magazines, CD-Roms & Videos:
Students may check out a maximum of four items at a time for the periods specified below:

• Regular books and magazines: Two weeks (bring them if you need to renew)
• Comic books & CD-Roms: One week (please alternate with other reading materials)
• Documentary books: Two days (preferably over weekends)
• Videos and DVDs: Three days with a rental fee of 1 dollar

Parents of elementary students are encouraged to acquaint themselves with their children's library visit days, to check return dates and help them with their “management” of library resources.

Returns and Late Fees:
Library materials should be returned on time, at the latest by the date stamped on the material.

• Late returns will be subject to a fine of 25 cents per late day (50 cents for videos and DVDs). Late fee notices will be sent out in the cahier de textes or cahier de correspondence.
• Checking-out is permitted only if late items are returned and fees paid. A student having too many consecutive late returns might not be allowed to borrow books for a specific time period.
• One month after the due date, a book is considered lost and the price of the book must be paid to the library.

Lost or damaged books:
If a book is damaged but can be repaired, one third of the book price must be paid to the library. These books will be marked damaged so that future borrowers are not subject to any charges. If a book is damaged beyond repair or lost, the full price of the book must be paid to the library.

Book Donations

Our library welcomes all book donations and uses them in a variety of ways. Some donated books are integrated into the library, while others (usually duplicates and highly specialized titles) are put into English language classrooms for silent reading. Some are incorporated into our annual used-book sale.
