Zimmerman Library

Our library strives to meet the needs of our students and teachers, whether on campus or at home. Our physical spaces are full of students searching for their next read, tackling homework, or taking a break from their screens with friends. Online, we provide databases, ebooks, and digital magazines that can be accessed from anywhere, at any time. And in classrooms, we collaborate with teachers to help students navigate and evaluate an exponentially growing amount of information and disinformation as they discover what matters in their learning and in the world.

Our library is a multidimensional space which has been critically important in these changing times.  Every day is a new challenge, and a new opportunity, to adapt and work beyond the way things have always been done.

We aim to make the library a place where every student feels comfortable being themselves and exploring their curiosities. Our books provide windows into different worlds, and our resources allow students to dig deeper to uncover answers to their biggest questions.

The Severn School Libraries collaborate with teachers across disciplines to prepare students for their futures. Through their support of the school’s curriculum, the Libraries ensure that Severn graduates are skilled and ethical users of information. The Libraries foster the love of reading and lifelong learning by maintaining a robust collection that caters to diverse backgrounds, perspectives, interests, and opinions.
