Libraries

The AIS Vienna Libraries support the school's mission to empower each student with the skills and character strengths necessary to be positively impactful global citizens who strive for personal growth and excellence in an ever-changing world by facilitating the effective, creative and ethical use of information and the pursuit and appreciation of a wide variety of literature.

We are dedicated to delivering a future-ready program that aims to provide students from Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 12 with a set of transferable information literacy skills as well as a lifelong love of reading. Our primary goal is to empower students to discover their next captivating read, encounter diverse voices and cultures - including their own - within our collections, and to nurture their innate curiosity. Our Elementary Library, which supports students from Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 5, and our Secondary Library, which supports students from Grades 6 - 12, are both staffed by full-time professional Librarians as well as Library Assistants.

Our Secondary Library was completely renovated in 2018 and our Elementary Library was purpose-built in 2020; both spaces were designed with our students in mind, providing flexible, dynamic, and welcoming places for study, collaboration, relaxation, reading, and play. We offer an extensive range of resources, including more than 25,000 books, academic databases designed to support students from Pre-Kindergarten all the way to Grade 12; e and audio books; along with a host of other curated materials that ensure our students, faculty, staff, and the wider community have equitable access to the resources they need.

We encourage you to visit our divisional library pages for further information or to browse our collection - and we hope to see you at the library.
