A VIBRANT SPACE TO LEARN AND GROW
LET'S GROW!
From read-alouds to research projects, our Lower School library nurtures students from preschool through fifth grade to develop a lifelong love of reading while learning critical information literacy, comprehension and organization skills. Whether students want to answer a question, learn about the world and each other, or take a journey in someone else's shoes, our library is a place where curiosity and creativity soar.
A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
Our librarians strive to make every student feel known and valued — whether that means helping with literacy skills, recommending books or just talking about what’s going on in their lives. They work closely with teachers to create unique experiences for our students to engage with reading and books. And they provide a comfortable space for students to express themselves and spend time with one another.
Our entire library staff works together to create a sense of unity among our students, seeking out opportunities for student collaboration across grade levels and campuses.
