School libraries
Frenz hosts well stocked libraries at all of our partner schools. All Frenz members and students enrolled in the bilingual classes can borrow books weekly from the library. Anyone wishing to have a family library card must become Frenz members. It is not compulsory to have a child enrolled in a bilingual class .
Please note all libraries are closed during the school holidays.
​
In the primary school libraries, you will find graphic novels, picture books, novels, non-fiction, DVD and CD for children aged 5-11 (even suitable up to 14 y.o.). Students can borrow up to 2 items (books, DVD, CD) for 14 days (renewable once). Frenz members can borrow up to 10 items (books, DVD, CD) for 14 days (renewable once). Loans can be renewed online by login into your Oliver Junior account.
