Starting Wednesday, September 4, 2019, you will no longer be able to download audiobooks from OverDrive if you are using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. You can use SORA instead for audiobooks.
Overdrive users on Mac devices will still have access to ebooks, but it might just be easier to make the switch to SORA!

We are offering the American Red Cross Lifeguard Course. Through a combination of classwork (theory) and pool sessions (pratical), you could become a certified Lifeguard.
Students must first successfully meet the pre-requisites and their participation must be approved by the Aquatics Director. The cost is 200 rmb. This will be refunded to the students when they successfully complete the Lifeguarding course.
The class runs every Thursdays from 3.15 -5.15pm. 100% attendance is required. Please bring swimsuit, towel and goggles to every session.
A few spaces are still available. Please contact Ms Lammers for more information.
Did you know we have ebooks and audiobooks for kids from age 2-99? The easiest way to get them is to download Sora, Overdrive’s student reading app. It works on all smart phones AND laptops! You simply type Nanjing International School to find our school in the app, then login using your ID number as both your username AND password. Students and teachers are ready to go…parents need to stop by the library to request an account. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Of course, you can always stop by the downstairs primary library with any questions or concerns!
