Dear all.
Welcome back after the summer holidays!
I hope that you are well rested and full of happy and exciting memories.

I have some news to share with those of you who don't know yet:
After ten years of working for the English International School Prague, I am moving on to a new job. Therefore, this page will be discontinued.
If you miss the Library on your social media, please contact the school and its new librarian. Our school has merged and changed name over the holidays and so you will now find it at: https://www.nordangliaeducation.com/schools/prague/british-international.

I had a terrific time running this page and I hope your love for books and reading will never leave you! After all, reading opens new worlds for anyone willing to explore them.

All the best,
Katka Rantova
Your Librarian
