LIBRARY & BOOKS

The AIS - West library is a large classroom shared by a large number of students, teachers, staff, and parents.  It serves as both a reading and information center within the context of the various curricula taught in all divisions of our school. In addition to books, the library subscribes to many newspapers and magazines in both English and Arabic.

In order that everyone may enjoy and make use of the library, library users must be respectful and share:

• the materials and resources, by returning them on time for someone else to borrow, by putting them where they belong, by keeping them in good condition, and by taking turns.

• the space by allowing others to use the facilities

• the sound space, by not interfering with someone else’s need to read, to find information, or to study

Books and other circulating materials may be checked out to students for two weeks.  Students are responsible for items checked out under their name.  To renew a book, please bring it to the library to be rescanned.  Overdue notices are sent periodically through the classroom teachers. Reasonable care must be taken to maintain the book in good condition. Students will be charged for lost or damaged materials.  Any lost books or fees due to the library must be settled prior to the end of the final term or report cards will be withheld. The library is a well-equipped facility and the pride of AIS - West.  The librarians are here to help you!

Library hours are from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and from 8:00am to 3:00 pm on Wednesday and Thursday.

Damaged or Lost Items Policy

The school issues texts, library books, instruments and other valuable materials to students each year. Students are responsible for returning these items in good, reasonable condition at the end of the year, or whenever the teacher asks for them back. If items checked-out to students do not return, or are returned in a manner deemed damaged or in need of repair, the student will be charged a repair or replacement fee. If the fees are not paid, the report card and/or final transcript is not issued to the student until the items are accounted for/repaired

If students lose something, they should check with security at the Lost and Found.
