Every week, depending on class time, the BCD welcomes kindergarten and elementary school pupils (from TPS to CM2). The BCD sessions are devoted to discovering children's literature, the book as an object, and how to tidy up and find their way around the library. A range of activities are on offer: storytelling, book-related games, various projects, media and information literacy, etc.

EFAD's BCD provides users with over 6,000 documents in French, English and Spanish, divided between the kindergarten and elementary school libraries.

The primary BCD offers a permanent service at check-out time so that pupils can change books.
