School Libraries

 

Lower School Library

A welcoming gathering area for the school, our Lower School library features an expansive and dynamic collection of diverse books, iPads that students use for digital research and creative projects, and multisensory activities, games, and puzzles. In weekly library classes, our certified librarian connects to classroom learning, helps develop our students' personal interests and love of reading, and builds digital literacy skills as students learn how to access and utilize resources as responsible digital citizens.

George S. Terry Library

With an impressive collection of digital and print resources, Middle School students are able to expand and build on the research skills introduced in the younger grade levels. Proper citation and advanced research skills are enhanced as students utilize online databases to support their classwork. Students also use Sora for easy access to ebooks and audiobooks for classroom use and independent reading. A hub of activity for the Middle School grades, the Terry Library is a collaborative and welcoming space where reading and writing flourish.

Student Access to Sora

Sora offers a free digital library of thousands of ebooks and audiobooks generated through the Massachusetts Library Systems.

Book Clubs

Students can opt in to weekly lunchtime book clubs with our librarian starting in third grade and continue as long as they want! Club members work through multiple books a year and build community through shared literature.

They often read books by our visiting authors including Kayla Miller, Rajani LaRocca, and Ruth Chan (pictured above) and have the opportunity to enjoy lunch meetings with them, where they can ask questions and learn more about their work.
