Library Programmes

At MRIS, our library is the heart of our school

It plays an essential role in every program we offer, providing a dynamic space for learning, imagination, and community engagement.

A Gateway to Imagination and Learning

Our library is where students dive into the world of reading and imagination. Through our read-aloud sessions, students are introduced to a wide range of stories and experiences, helping them to develop a lifelong love for reading.

Whether they are journeying through fantastical lands or exploring real-world events, our library provides the books and resources that make these adventures possible.

Fostering Research and Intellectual Growth

In addition to promoting a love for reading, our library is a hub for research and intellectual development. Students are guided on how to conduct research effectively and are made aware of the importance of copyright and intellectual property. This education helps to develop critical thinking skills and a respect for the work of others.

Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Program

One of our standout programs is the Fountas & Pinnell literacy initiative. This program is designed to meet the reading levels of each individual student, providing personalized support to help every child grow as a reader. The program assesses each student’s reading ability and tailors instruction to ensure that everyone progresses at their own pace.

A Rich and Diverse Collection

Our library boasts a rich and diverse collection of books across all genres, including fiction, non-fiction, drama, and poetry.

We are proud to offer something for every reader, no matter their interests or reading level. Our collection is continually updated to include the latest publications and timeless classics.

Online Resources

To complement our physical collection, we provide a range of online resources that are accessible to the entire MRIS community.

These resources offer additional avenues for research, reading, and learning, ensuring that our library’s benefits extend beyond its physical walls.

Community Access

The MRIS library is accessible to everyone in our school community, including parents, students, and teachers. We believe that a strong library supports not just individual learning but also fosters a sense of community and shared knowledge. Parents are encouraged to utilize our resources, whether for supporting their children’s learning or for their own personal enrichment.

A Hub of Learning and Growth

In summary, the MRIS library is more than just a collection of books. It is a vibrant hub of learning, imagination, and community.

We invite everyone in the MRIS community to take advantage of all that our library has to offer and to join us in making it a cornerstone of our educational experience.
