About Our School Library

Täby Enskilda Gymnasium has, in recent years, begun work on building up a school library, and this work is ongoing. The library, together with the school's book store, functions as a combined resource for literature and media for students and staff. It is located in the heart of the school, near the cafeteria, reception, and the common social area called Lärandets Ocean. The library is a place where students can both study in peace and quiet, but also borrow literature, search for information, and get support from staff.
