The Primary Libraries is a popular place for students and parents to go. We have two fully stocked libraries at BST Primary, the Shibuya
Library for EYFS and KS1 learners and our Showa Library for KS2 learners. The libraries are named after the historical BST campuses!
We take part in the Sakura Medal reading competitions in the following categories: Chapter Books, Middle School, Graphic Novels, and Chapter Books in Japanese (and the children tend to do very well against other schools). https://sites.google.com/view/sakuramedal/
Students and Parents can also access resources online via our ebook service ePlatform for both eBooks and Audio books, which are very popular. If you would like to open a free account for yourself, or your children, please email Mr Steven at rsteven@bst.ac.jp.
Opening Hours:
The Shibuya Library is open before and after school for loans at the following times:
Tuesdays and Thursdays: 08:15 – 08:35
Tuesdays and Fridays: 15:15 – 16:30
Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 situation, the Shibuya Library is currently not open before and after school for loans.
The Showa Libraries are open every day during lesson times. The Primary Library is also open during lunch times on Tuesdays.
Returns:
All library returns should be placed in the boxes by the entrance of the Showa or Shibuya Library.
Books can be renewed during any library session; it is not necessary to have the book with you to do this.
If a library resource becomes damaged while you are borrowing it, please alert us so that we may repair it. All broken parts of the magazine or book are required to be returned. If a book is lost or completely damaged, you may be charged for the item using
Amazon Japan rates.
