The School Library

We do not see our library as a book shed, but as a space in which visitors feel comfortable, where they have the opportunity to retreat and browse, where they can find a variety of work materials and the opportunity for a lively exchange about it.

 

The Eurocampus library consists of the libraries of the German European School Manila (GESM) and that of the French school of Manila and can be described as the "heart" of the school. All subject areas meet here, providing impulses for the entire school community.

​

The library currently manages a stock of around 30,000 media in German, English and French, including non-fiction, fiction, audiovisual (CDs, DVDs, audiobooks), as well as newspaper and magazine subscriptions.

​

Computer work stations with internet access offer all visitors the possibility of internet research.

​

When it comes to new purchases, we take the wishes of our users, especially those from the students, into account.

​

The library is open for visitors from Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm excluding GESM holidays.
