THE IDIOMART LIBRARY
A small lending library where our students can borrow Spanish books to continue learning and exploring the language at home.
Each borrowed book also comes with a “Lectura y reflexión” worksheet, included at no extra cost, designed to help students reflect on the story, the characters, and their personal reading experience.
Once completed, the worksheet will be corrected and returned to the student with feedback, making reading an active and guided part of the learning process. Below you’ll find a selection of books currently available in our library.
Important info: A €15 refundable deposit is required for all books. The deposit is paid in cash at the school and will be fully returned once the book is brought back in good condition. Books can be borrowed for up to 8 weeks. If you need more time, feel free to let us know.
How to get your book: Once you know which book you want to borrow, click on the cover – your email app will be opened and a pre-written email will appear. Simply send it, and we will let you know about the availability of the book.
