The Bowen School Library

The Bowen school library is a purposeful place that houses and offers a selection of hardcopy books and resources in different languages.. When students step into the library, they are often greeted by the attractive thematic displays throughout the year.

Spending time in the school library is a great way for students to lessen screen time and drive away digital fatigue. It also provides a quiet and conducive place for students who wish to focus and study.
