Nursery and Primary Library

Our libraries for the Nursery and Primary Schools encourage students to appreciate the whole world of literacy. They lend out books, DVDs, CDs, and other materials for the students to enjoy while they are also becoming confident readers. The libraries support the school’s educational curriculum and help students to develop good reading practices.

The librarians, often assisted by parent volunteers, select the libraries’ holdings and organize literacy and book-related activities.

In the Nursery School

The Nursery School classes visit the library regularly with their teachers. During each visit, students may listen to stories read by the teacher or a parent volunteer and may check out two books to take home.

The library holds a collection of 5000 books for the Nursery School students in all the languages represented at the school: English, French, German, Italian, Greek, Danish, Czech, Hungarian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Irish, Maltese, Romanian, and Croatian.

In the Primary School

The Primary School classes visit the library regularly with their teachers. During each visit, students may listen to stories read by the teacher or a parent volunteer in the library’s reading corner. They also may check out five books to take home.

The library holds a collection of 30 000 books for the Primary School students in all the languages represented at the school: English, French, German, Italian, Greek, Danish, Czech, Hungarian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Irish, Maltese, Romanian, and Croatian.

In cooperation with the Bibliothèque Nationale du Luxembourg, the majority of the library’s books are classified by Aleph.

Library news

Over the course of the school year, the library and its partner organization, Les Mots de Zaza, will invite different authors to come visit the students.

Cultural activities and outreach programs for the families are organized to highlight and exhibit student work that is focused on reading. Students share their work with the parents through literacy-centered exchanges or performances.

As adults demonstrate the importance of the written word to their children, a whole world of imagination and creativity can open for them.

New works are added to the library each year to excite the students’ interests and imaginations.

Library rules

The library is a place for everyone’s enjoyment. In order to make visiting a pleasant experience for all its users, the library asks its young patrons to remember a few simple rules:

Speak in a quiet voice,
Do not run in the library
The library is not a place for playing.

The best environment for reading and exploring books is a calm one. Students must learn to respect the library as a place for quiet reading.

Students may borrow books from the library, but they are asked to take good care of them. If a library book is damaged or lost, parents will be asked to replace the item.
