Annual Book Fair

Next week the libraries Annual Book Fair will happen(February 25-March 1). It will start at 6:45 AM-2:30 PM in the Multi-Purpose room 1 upstairs. All staff members and students are welcome to attend.
Battle of the Books
We are getting closer and closer to the BoB Competition, so please help your students in assisting, encouraging and motivating our Battlers up until the competition commences. Important details to take note of:
-Ensure students are guided by their reading levels.
-Students must be in a team of 3-4 students, as well as a team captain.
-Parent letters to confirm that they can participate
-assist wherever necessary.
-To have a more detailed guide, please CLICK HERE.

What's New? 
The library has 32 new Chromebooks which are split between Primary and Secondary. To make sure students understand the use of them, the library will be setting up an orientation. There are no confirmed dates on when this will happen but we hope to do it before the end of March. 

The library has received many boxes of new books and they will be shelved once they have been processed into the libraries system. If you have a specific book that is not available in the library, we encourage you to fill in the Book request form on the library website (library.emsdoha.net). Please take note that it might be considered when ordering books for the next academic year, depending on the library budget and the appropriacy of the book.

Magazines are now available for all staff and students. CLICK HERE to view the titles.

Chat Bubble
All teachers and staff members are welcome to do the Chat Bubble. Simply send an email to library-team@emsdoha.net if you wish to participate. The Chat Bubble is a 10-minute conversation with Secondary students where you get a chance to share some of your interests and passions.
