Our Library

Library

DAIS library is a large facility shared by students, teachers and parents.  It serves as both a reading and information center within the context of the various curricula taught in all divisions.  It is a well-equipped facility and the pride of DAIS. Our library is divided into two separate sections and caters to all students within DAIS, including access to the internet. Our Elementary grades visit the library weekly, although they may borrow and return books at other times. Middle and High school students come to the library in planned, scheduled sessions or with a pass, authorized by the classroom teacher. Please refer to the students handbook for our Library and Technology rules.
