Library

SSS members can borrow books from both the CAJ and SSS libraries. These two libraries have separate online catalogues. Directions for how to check items out can be found in the videos below.

More detailed information about the resources offered in the CAJ and SSS libraries can be found on their respective pages
in the Library sub-menu.

ePlatformAudiobooks & eBooks

The CAJ library is part of a consortium of other international schools here in Japan, so SSS members now have access to a large selection of audiobooks and ebooks. There is a limit of one item per patron at a time—but returning and checking out another book is immediate, so you can change books as quickly as you need (as long as it's available).

Sign up for an ePlatform account by filling up this brief Google Form: Audiobooks & eBooks for SSS Families

The CAJ librarian will then contact you when your account has been created.

Digital Libraries for Kids

In addition to the SSS and CAJ libraries, we have subscriptions to a couple of kid-centric digital libraries that are available to SSS members.

Epic! is a digital library of fiction, non-fiction, STEM, graphic novels, and biographies for kids 12 and under. When you sign up you’ll get instant access to 25,000 books, learning videos, quizzes, and more. You can access Epic!’s library on desktops, laptops (including Chromebooks), iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire devices.
