​Welcome to the School Library -
Marcy Zachmeier Ruh Schulbücherei

TCGIS is fortunate to have a wonderful collection of over 7,000 books, the majority of which are in German. Built as part of the school's new addition, the library space is a beautiful place for students to enjoy listening to stories and exploring books. For questions about the library, please contact our library coordinator Mary Zimmerman.
