At ISS, our dedicated Libraries offer more than just a wealth of resources. They are welcoming places for students to read, enquire, learn – and practise – research and 21st-century information skills.

Our Library Services help students become aware and intelligent users of media and information, enhance learning in the classroom and encourage reading for pleasure and personal growth.

Early Childhood and Primary School Library

The International School of Stavanger expanded its campus, including a new, vibrant Library for its Early Childhood and Primary School students and families.

Our EC/PS Library is staffed by a highly trained teacher/librarian. Resources and services include:

• Nearly twelve thousand fiction and non-fiction book titles to choose from.
• A modest collection of modern board games for families looking for new ways to encourage literacy, face to face engagement and social skills with their children.
• Newly reconfigured spaces for promoting and hosting events and services that encourage enquiry, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking in both personal and academic fields

Middle and High School Library

The ISS MS/HS Library is a multi-purpose space that provides a comfortable and practical environment with a range of resources to inspire students to expand their learning experience.

With a friendly and experienced staff, our MS/HS Library services include:

• Hands-on assistance with academic research and literary enquiry
• An extensive collection of multimedia learning tools
• Thousands of fiction and non-fiction books, and reference material, available in a number of languages and reading levels
• Academic databases which students have 24-hour access to both within school and from their home computers

We encourage ISS families to take advantage of our resources and use our Libraries and the helpful staff to enrich their experience of life within the ISS community.
