Our Centre's Library

After the local educational reform in summer 2015, our library has been divided between two locations:

* at Võru Kreutzwaldi Kool's premises (Kooli 7, B-wing, room B22) you can find materials for elementary and lower-secondary levels, Year 9 exam materials, textbook sets, homereading library for the younger readers (adapted  and easier teen fiction), general foreign language teaching methodology books and some materials for teaching Russian, German, French and Finnish;

* at Võru Gümnaasium's premises (Seminari tänav 1) you can find materials that are suitable for upper-secondary students and advanced language studies, also the library for homereading books (classical and modern fiction).

You might want to check our catalogue for further information, including the details from which building to find the materials that suit your needs.

NB! The abbreviation  PK means  `põhikool´ in Kreutzwaldi Kool's at Kooli 7 and
                                      G stands for `gümnaasium´ at Seminari Street 1
