Library Facilities and Resources:

 

The American School of Guadalajara houses the second largest English language library in Mexico. The Library/Media Center is in two separate facilities on campus: the Primary Media Center, which serves Early Childhood through grade 5, and the Middle/High School Media Center, which serves grades 6-12.

The media centers have a combined collection of more than 28,000 books in both English and Spanish, 35 periodical titles, more than 1,200 videotapes, audio cassettes, and CD-ROMs, as well as posters and maps, tape recorders, overhead and digital projectors, televisions, VCRs and video cameras for instructional use.

Recently, the Middle/High School Media Center has installed an 18 station computer lab, and the Primary Media Center has acquired an 8 station computer pod. Running the latest Windows XP operating system, the new computers allow even greater opportunities to research information and create multimedia projects and presentations.

In addition, the library catalogs are available on-line from the ASFG Library Web Page, along with information about research, career and university planning, helpful study links, and a section for teachers' professional needs, all accessible from school or home.

In collaboration with teachers, the librarians work to promote a reading culture on campus through story hours, book fairs, research and investigation, and selection of materials to support and enrich the curriculum.
