Library
 
Welcome to the Taipei European School Library!
The library serves the educational, informational and recreational needs of all students - within our diverse and multicultural community. The vision of TES library is to inspire the spirit of exploration, the joy of reading and the pursuit of knowledge for all students, beginning with the very young.

As a cornerstone of TES, our library connects students from the German, French and British Sections to each other. The library proudly promotes and enriches the social, cultural and educational life of this diverse and evolving community.

Primary School Library

The library is divided into infant and junior areas and contains books adapted to different ages and reading abilities in four languages - English, French, German and Chinese. This bright and spacious area provides not only a wonderful reading environment but also a key room for resource expansion.

The Audio-Video room and two listening centres allow students to discover the world of knowledge via different media. The dedicated classroom area on the second floor allows for continued research and learning to take place with research material available at students' fingertips.

The Primary Library encourages pupils to become student librarians and support our school by working with the library. Their role is to help the librarians process new arrivals, shelve books, help other students find what they are looking for and return resources. This position enables our students to develop their knowledge, skills and personal qualities in a real life context.

Web-based library catalogue

In order to integrate primary and secondary library databases and make it accessible to every TES member from anywhere, anytime, the Library upgraded our library system from window-based Alice to web-based Oliver!

Olly! is the interface for kids provided by Oliver. It is an animated interface with bright images, logos and innovative search techniques designed to maintain interest and cater for younger students.
