Note from the Librarian

Hello parents!

I am so excited that our amazing parents would like to have access to the library! In response, we will be offering library hours for parents two days during the school week commencing from the week starting October 3^rd.

For morning hours, parents may access the library from 7:15 – 7:55 a.m. every Wednesday.

For afternoon hours, parents can access the library from 3.05 – 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday

I will be in the library and invite parents to checkout two books during their visit and return them within two weeks, I only ask that you please wear your ID badge to make the checkout process easier. I also kindly request that parents abide by the following library rules:

Library Rules:

Wear your school ID badge at all times.
Please supervise your child/ren at all times.
No food or drink in the library space – water is allowed outside space of library area
Please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
Be mindful of time restrictions as the library space is often used for morning classes.
Return library books within two weeks to avoid replacement fees.

As Librarian, my first priority is for our students to use and access the library space. Therefore, it is important to have designated days for students to use the library outside of school hours, without parents in the space.

If you have any questions, or concerns, do not hesitate to email me within working hours at e.wigren@basis.ac.th

Thank you,

Ms. Erika, BISB Librarian
