Middle & Upper School Library
The Middle & Upper School library is housed on the second floor of the Henry Kimelman Library building. It serves the needs of the Middle & Upper School students, faculty, and families, but children in upper elementary grades are also able to check out books from this library if they are not available in the Lower School Library.
Students in Grade 6 take a year long course with our librarian that focuses on reading and academic skills. Students in Grade 8 take a semester long Information Literacy course where the focus is on the development of skillful use of the library's print and electronic resources.
While library browsing is not currently available due to COVID, students can contact the librarian to check out books.
