Did
you know that ISE Library holds one of the biggest English language collections
for young readers in Tallinn? The library has ~10,000 printed volumes on hand
in addition to audio books, films and subscription databases. Our print collection has classics and
contemporary children’s and young adult fiction including award winners from
Newbery, Caldecott, Carnegie, ALA Young Adult, Graphic Novel etc. award lists.
We have a thorough supplementary non-fiction collection for PYP units of
inquiry and upper school research projects.
ISE
believes in supplying accuracy, objectivity, and reliability in research
materials for both children and adults. Our carefully selected subscription
databases, The World Book, Encyclopedia Britannica and EBSCOhost, are among the
industry leaders of award-winning encyclopedias, reference sources, and digital
products for the home and schools.
Currently
ISE is looking into expanding its small but popular e-book collection.
The
qualified library staff is an integral part of the teaching team, delivering the
Library/Information studies courses and the school literacy programs, coordinating
curriculum support and managing resources.
A study by Debra E. Kachel and Keith Curry Lance (The School
Library Journal March 2013) adds to the evidence that all K–12 students need
and deserve quality school library programs with full-time certified staff.
Students are more likely to succeed when they have library programs that are
well staffed, well-funded, technologically well equipped, well stocked, and
accessible. ISE Library meets the parameters of this research.
ISE
library collection is available to the entire school community students,
teachers and their families. I invite you to take the advantage of the
wonderful resources ISE library offers. Come in the morning or after school and
check it out!
