School library open!

In 2025, we opened a school library at our school. And the best part? The first collection was put together by our students themselves. At the beginning of this school year, each student chose a book during the book market at school. Second-year students were even allowed to choose a book at the Van Piere bookstore in Eindhoven. And now all those books are in the brand-new library.

Reading pleasure
"I chose the book Wereldspionnen (World Spies). I've already read that book myself and really enjoyed it. Now others can read it too," says Max from thv2c. Loue from thv2d is very happy with the new school library: "I'm really glad the school is getting a library because I love reading. It transports you to another world." Vova from bk2b is also enthusiastic. He can't wait to read the book he chose, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth."

Official Opening
On Tuesday, September 9, we officially opened the school library. The first students were presented with their chosen book. And even the press was present. Education Manager Ineke Jacobs: "Reading is a key to success in all subjects. It increases vocabulary, strengthens reading comprehension and opens up new worlds. By letting students choose for themselves, we make reading personal, fun and meaningful. In this way we build together a library full of books that students really want to read."

Volunteers wanted
The school library runs on volunteers. Want to join? Volunteer recruitment and scheduling is handled by Cordaad Welzijn.
