Welcome back to school!

Have you made new plans for the new school year? The library is planning ours for the new school year. Bookmark the following dates to celebrate with the libraries or simply tell me your great ideas, so that we can customize those special days especially for KGV.

International School Library Day

International School Library Day was proclaimed by the IASL President, Dr Blanche Woolls, in 1999 and reaffirmed by the IASL President, Peter Genco, in 2005.
It is a day to promote the school libraries in international schools.
This year's ISL Day will be held on 22 October 2007 with the theme: Learning: Powered by your school library
