Libraries

Established in 1947, the Main Library of the Islamic Educational College serves as a vital academic resource for students, teachers, and staff. In addition to the main branch, the College operates seven satellite libraries across its campuses in Jabal Amman and Jubaiha, all dedicated to supporting the educational and intellectual growth of the school community and the wider public.

The library's mission is to provide equitable access to information resources and to promote information literacy among users. Students are guided in how to locate, evaluate, and effectively use information, empowering them to become independent and critical thinkers.
