By Diāna Legzdiņa, Librarian

 

Welcome back to our Library! From the very first day, students and staff have been checking out library materials and coming for lessons. It is a place that never sleeps:)

 

Since the IB Learner Profile for the month of September was open-minded, let’s have a closer look at how out students were be open-minded when visiting the library.

  • Is willing to try a new author or topic to read
  • Listens to others’ views and suggestions respectfully
  • Is honest and open to new ideas and shares how he/she feels 
  • Shows empathy and awareness of biases and stereotypes
