Zimmerman Library

A PLACE FOR EVERY ADMIRAL

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE
Welcome to our dynamic, friendly, and energetic Middle and Upper School library. We provide our community the best resources for research and recreational reading and guide our students toward becoming savvy, ethical users and consumers of information and technology. We curate our collections to meet the academic, creative, and personal interests of our students and teachers and hope that every Severn Admiral can see themselves reflected in our collection.

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.
