Library

The school library is a center for literacy and research, a place that fosters and celebrates the love of reading, and acts as a learning and social hub for the whole school community. The library’s extensive collection includes print books, audiobooks and ebooks in English and Norwegian. Our catalog is hosted by Bibits centraldrift and runs a Mikromarc 3- client for daily operations.
