The SISS Secondary Library is located in building 41 (new building, old bus stop) in the center of the school building. Opening hours are from 7.30 am till 3.00 pm from Monday through Friday, the library is closed during the big break only.

The library collection consists of 3000 different media and which includes a wide range of age appropriate materials like non-fiction and fiction books, digital resources, journals and audio-books. Two books can be borrowed for a period of two weeks always with the possibility to extend the date.  Our library is a quiet working place to create a study atmosphere for students.

Our goal is to support students in their life-long learning process and to encourage self-organization and study skills. Professional support will be given at any time. Different workshops and projects are offered within the lessons to strengthen skills in media and information literacy.Laptops can be borrowed for educational reasons (e.g. research, homework or work on projects) and can be used in the library only.

A special area is reserved for our IB students which includes reference books (cannot be borrowed) and also other subject related textbooks, specific literature and revision guides.  We always rely on support to offer a varied and updated media collection which is important to support the interest in reading and reading abilities in general.  Donations are very welcome but please only bring age appropriate books in a good condition and please do not bring any books that are older than ten years.

Since the very beginning the library has been supported by the Förderverein Internationale Schule und Preschool, therefore we were able to purchase various items and our media collection can still be extended and updated in the future.
