The Library – Media Centre – Monza

The school library – media centre plays an important role in the whole learning process. The school libraries at both sites are equipped with computer area, internet access, TV, projectors and an interactive whiteboard where pupils can go during normal lesson time to carry out research for their inquiries. Students and teachers have access to a variety of resources, such as fiction and non fiction literature, journals, DVDs, and other audio-visual materials. Our vast variety of library books come up to almost 20,000 volumes and are accessible to the whole school community. At the Monza site there is a full time librarian who not only takes care of the general organisation and running of the library, but also works closely with the teaching staff and children.

The library is open from Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 5.30pm (except for Wednesday and Thursday in which closes at 4.30pm) – with the exception of when library lessons are scheduled as indicated in the different class timetables. Every child can access the Library at any moment and can borrow up to a maximum of 5 books for a 2 weeks duration. In order to extend the book loan period the librarian needs to be notified. Parents are welcome to visit the Library during openings hours, and at the end of the school day with their children. Missing or damaged books need to be replaced by families, and the librarian will explain what the procedures are. Please, consult the librarian in case you need any further information at : library@playenglish.it.
