A renovated library for the new school year! We took the opportunity of the summer holiday to renovate the library of our school.

We took the opportunity of the summer holiday to renovate the library of our school. It is worth remembering that it contains more than 17'000 books in eight different languages! In addition to being a place for reading & studying, various events are also organized there throughout the year. These include readings aloud for toddlers, photo contests, author meetings, etc...

In addition, there are reading rallies such as the Janusz Korczak Prize for Children's Literature. This year's theme was "Come, let's play". Champittet students from 3rd to 6th grades have four books to read during the months of November to May; these books are discussed and analyzed in class afterwards. Then, at the end of May, the students vote for their favorite work. A ceremony is then organized to designate the author of the selected book, where the winner meets his or her young readers.
