Fill out the Library Summer Check-Out Form - for students that are in Lower School
The form needs to be filled out separately for each child
Summer check-out starts Monday, June 9th.
Please note that you will not be able to check out summer books if all of your previously checked-out books are not returned.
The end of the school year and summer vacation is just around the corner. This means it is time to return all your books and get library books to read over the summer. It is the perfect time to pick up a good book - strictly for enjoyment or to practice newly acquired reading skills.
Studies show that children and teens who read during the summer are better prepared for school in the fall. Also, reading for fun results in significant
gains in vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
The library is again offering returning AISZ students the opportunity to borrow library books over the summer holiday starting June 6th. The students can check out up to 30 books for the summer and should return them during the first week of school. Any lost or damaged books must be paid at their replacement cost.
Please return all library books the first week of school.
We got some great new books and would LOVE for you to be able to check new books out.
HOW TO PLACE YOUR ORDER
To encourage reading, and to make buying books in English easier, we are continuing with the Scholastic Book Club. You can go directly online to browse and order the latest books.
Please place your order online by Wednesday, May 12th, 2021. All book orders will be shipped to the school. We will then sort all the books out (following Covid guidelines) and distribute them to each classroom and to each student.
If you have any questions regarding placing your order, email us at: library@aisz.hr

Banned Books Week (September 27 - October 3, 2020) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
