The Library offers services to the whole school, from Parent–Child to Twelfth Grade, as well as to Faculty Staff, and Parents. The catalogue contains over 10,000 books as well as maps, art prints, photo archive, curricular materials, and parenting resources. Additionally, the Library provides access to online databases such as Gail in Context, National Geographic, Encyclopedia Britannica (in English and Spanish), and JSTOR for research projects and curricular enrichment. School Librarian, Rachel Yamada, MLIS, is available to help community members locate Library materials; to make recommendations and answer questions; and to assist in research.
The library will always welcome donations of children’s books (particularly books published within the last five years) but would especially love donations of children’s nonfiction materials.
