Moreover, we organize educational activities that promote culture and social awareness and teach information literacy.

Geitonas School Library is also a member of the Greek Libraries Network, organized by the National Library of Greece (NLG), with whom we inter-develop programs that promote joy of reading and learning.

The library currently has over 29.000 titles, including books, magazines, newspapers and audiovisual resources. The library’s collection is in various foreign languages, with the majority being in Modern Greek (17.000), followed by English (1.762), German (345), and French (319).
The library, in order to index and catalog its resources, uses the Dewey Decimal Classification system, NLG subject headings and the collection covers every academic area possible such as: computer science, philosophy, psychology, religion, social sciences, literature, science and technology, arts & recreation, literature, history & and geography, as well as resources addressing the school’s curriculum.
The library’s online public access catalog (OPAC), hosted in cooperation with the National Documentation Center (ΕΚΤ) of Greece, can be found in the following address: https://geitonaslib.openabekt.gr/en/discover.
The library’s OPAC provides the user with a multifaceted interface for querying the database, either by launching a keyword search or by selecting an advanced search dialog, among others.
Short user training programs are organized by the library staff, aiming to help students understand the library’s collection and information retrieval process. The library also provides documentation for writing projects, conducting bibliographical research and advancing information literacy.
