Seattle World School Library

Our Program

The library at Seattle World School is not just a place–it’s a program! Our library program helps students use information wisely, think critically, read enthusiastically, research skillfully and produce content ethically.

Our Collection

Covers of books that are available in multiple languages. We were dreamers, AI, The Alchemist, Messy Roots, and more!
Some of the titles at SWS

We provide reading materials in over fifteen home languages, as well as bilingual texts and high-interest and high-quality reading support for beginning English readers.

We also have a challenging mission of closing technological gaps to ensure our students have global, national, and local access to reliable information and support.

Thank you for thinking of our students!  We are always looking for new and culturally appropriate materials for our students.  Here are some of our exciting projects!

1. A wishlist of books, housed on Amazon but able to purchase through Estelita’s Library and Third Place Books as well.  Materials can be sent to: Librarian, Seattle World School, 1700 E Union St Seattle, WA 98122

2. We’re building a MAKERSPACE!  Here are some ideas to support:

  • Bulk Order KiwiCrates of any kind, in batches of 10 or more, that we will put to use in all of our STEAM curriculum and classrooms.
  • Sewing materials (machines, fabrics, threads, sundries)
  • 3-D printers (please message me to discuss – we have to have particular models approved)
  • Legos
  • Robots
  • Crafting supplies (pipe cleaners, puffs, sequins, tissue paper)
  • And more!
