The British School Library is one of four libraries at SFS, and provides access to a broad range of information resources to ensure that students and staff are effective and responsible users of ideas and information.
The love of children’s literature is nurtured by regular author/illustrator visits from both Korea and abroad throughout the school year.
We are extremely proud of our new Middle Years Library which has received an American Institute of Architects design award. It sits in the ground floor of the Middle School building and provides and impressive, light, learning space where every student is welcome. It features a large collaborative space, group study rooms, window seating and the famous “secret library.” Here students can curate their own learning and reading experiences. Come in and take a look…
Our online catalog supports a well-rounded collection of 15,000 resources including audiobooks, books, DVDs, ebooks, graphic novels, parenting collection, periodicals, and professional resources.
