The AIS library media center is open to students and staff from 8:25 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every school day.

Students and staff use InfoCentre to locate materials as well as to self-checkout. Upper grade student volunteers help younger students with book selection before the start of the school day, check books in and shelve them, and assist with technology maintenance.

Our collection of carefully selected materials is based on input from students and staff, with an emphasis on supporting our international studies / peacekeeping / technology themes.
