At ISD, our school libraries are welcoming spaces where curiosity is nurtured and imagination is sparked. We aim to inspire a lifelong love of reading while equipping students with the skills to think critically, explore ideas, and engage thoughtfully with the world around them.
The ISD Primary Library is a welcoming, inclusive space at the heart of our school community. It is a place where students are encouraged to explore the joy of reading, discover new interests, and develop a lifelong love of books.
We believe that reading is not only essential for learning, but also for building empathy, imagination, and a sense of connection to the world. Our library reflects the diverse backgrounds of our students, with a rich and growing collection of books in multiple languages to celebrate and support our multilingual community.
From quiet reading corners to lively read-alouds and themed book weeks, the library is a space where curiosity is sparked and every child can find stories that speak to them. Whether students are reading for pleasure, researching a project, or discovering a new author, the Primary Library is a place where a love of learning begins
The ISD Secondary Library is a supportive, inclusive space designed to empower students as readers, researchers, and critical thinkers. With a rich collection of print and digital resources, the library plays a key role in fostering academic inquiry and helping students navigate an increasingly complex information landscape.
We encourage students to read widely—for both knowledge and enjoyment—while also guiding them in developing essential research and media literacy skills. Whether they’re working on a group project, preparing for the Extended Essay, or diving into a new novel, students will find the tools and support they need.
The library offers flexible spaces for quiet study, collaborative work, and independent exploration. Our aim is to create a learning environment that inspires curiosity, supports academic growth, and promotes a lifelong love of reading and learning.
