Our libraries, located on each of our campuses, consist of the BCD (Bibliothèque-Centre de Documentation) for the primary school and the 3C (Centre de Connaissances et de Culture) for the middle and high school. They provide students with resources for learning and for the enjoyment of reading and discovery. Fiction books, documentaries, magazines, and digital resources enable students to learn about various subjects and to read in French, English, and Chinese.
From Monday to Friday, all kindergarten and elementary school students meet with joy in a beautiful space designed for them, around the activities offered by their library teacher.
Through free readings, documentary research sessions, collaborative workshops or literary games, students work on the points of the school program by discovering our resources in French, English, and Chinese.
More than 36,000 documents are at their disposal, classified according to age, reading difficulty and topics covered. At the BCD, students immerse themselves with pleasure in documentaries, novels, albums, collections of poems, plays, Comics, and of course their favorite magazines.
Want to read a classic or discover the latest novelties?
The BCD catalog, which can be consulted online or on site using the Ipad and computers provided
students, provides information in a few clicks on availability in the collection, and offers links to suitable educational sites.
Our school’s partnership with the Association des Doneurs de Voix offers all students unable to read the opportunity to listen to texts from a large sound library.
To nourish each student’s appetite for knowledge and continue the pleasure of reading, new books can be borrowed each week, within the limits of loans granted by grade level.
The year is punctuated by thematic projects and weeks organized by the team of librarians from the Lycée Français de Shanghai. Exhibitions, competitions, cinema screenings, workshops and meetings with external speakers (journalists, illustrators, storytellers or novelists) are as many memorable moments as they are openings on culture and the contemporary world.
