Preschool and Kindergarten Library/Media Center consists of more than 1,000 books chosen especially for children ages three to six -years old.  Children visit the library for a weekly story time.

Lower School Library/Media Center offers over 6,000 books ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade reading levels.  Weekly class sessions include instruction as well as time to check out books.

Middle School Library/Media Center houses a collection of about 8,000 titles selected to support the school's academic curriculum and to encourage the love of reading. Research and information literacy skills are taught and reinforced at the "point of need," with instruction given in conjunction with the classroom curriculums.  This is a partnership with classroom teachers, preparing and presenting instruction as requested that directly aids students in effectively and efficiently completing projects.  Both book and automated sources are used in this instruction. 

While all students are allowed to check out library materials, specific borrowing policies vary depending on the age of the student.  There are no overdue fines; however, replacement costs for lost or damaged books will be assessed at the end of the year.  Final report cards and achievement test results are withheld until all books are returned and delinquent media fees are paid.

Birthday Book Program
It is a tradition for parents to present a book to the library in honor of their student's birthday.  Library staff acquires a special selection of current and favorite books for this purpose.   Parents participate this program by filling out a form and paying a nominal fee.  Close to the birthday date (or, for summer birthdays, near the end of the school year) the student chooses a book from a special selection.  A bookplate honoring the student's birthday is placed inside the book front cover and the student is allowed to keep the book for a week before it is placed in library circulation.
