Dear Parents and Guests:
We want to welcome you to our libraries.
The Jakarta Intercultural School Libraries are open to all students and their parents. We have four libraries, one on each of our four campuses, and your JIS identification card can be used to check out materials. The card is good until your youngest child graduates from JIS or when the last child withdraws from school. There is a limit of five (5) books per card, which can be kept for two (2) weeks. They can be renewed by phone or by bringing them in if you are not finished with them. Students cannot renew by phone but must bring the book in to get it renewed.
The elementary library media centers are open from 7:15 to 3:30, and you are welcome at any time. Both elementary libraries have excellent facilities and outstanding collections, and would love to have you come in after school with your child. We all feel that reading to young children is very important. The Middle School Library Media Center is open from 7:00 to 5:00 on school days and also would like to have you drop by and visit during school or after school with your child. The High School Library Media Center is open from 7:00 to 5:00 on weekdays and from 9:00 to 12:00 on Saturdays.
We have a large fiction section and non-fiction, and we also have collections in French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, and Indonesian. There is also a large collection of books about Indonesia and books on parenting. The libraries are free to use at all times but do note one needs to be enrolled and current with fees to borrow in June and July.
JIS Alumni will be considered paid patrons and able to check out a maximum of three books provided they have provided a 2 million Rupiah deposit.
Please feel free to come in at any time and introduce yourselves to us. We will be happy to help you or answer your questions.
Sincerely,
Matthew Schafer - High School Library Media Specialist
