The Library at IES Upplands Väsby: A Hub for Learning
The library at Internationella Engelska Skolan Upplands Väsby is a welcoming, safe and calm environment where students from preschool class to year nine can read, study, and explore. Located on the 1st floor, our library aims to strengthen student learning, reading skills, and curiosity through a diverse collection of materials and events.
We believe that providing a structured space for academic focus helps to bridge gaps between students and gives them the best possible opportunities to participate in society.
Resources and Literacy Our collection includes fiction and non-fiction in both English and Swedish, as well as a growing collection of books in students' mother tongues. Books are organised by age group and genre, including adventure, mystery, sports, and romance.
