Using the Library

Library Accounts

All students are issued a GESM library account, giving them access to borrowing services and library resources.

Textbook Loans

Textbooks are provided at the beginning of the school year or upon enrollment and must be returned in good condition at the end of the school year. In cases of significant damage or loss, replacement costs are charged to families.

Borrowing Period

In addition to textbooks, students may borrow library books and selected reading materials for up to three weeks, encouraging reading for both academic purposes and personal enjoyment.

Care of Library Materials

Students are expected to care for all borrowed materials and return them on time. Lost or significantly damaged items may require replacement, with the corresponding costs charged to families.

Library Shelves

At GESM, the Library is more than a place to borrow books—it is a space where curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning come together.

Through its diverse resources, welcoming spaces, and learning support, the Library encourages students to become confident readers, independent learners, and inquisitive thinkers.
