Library and Research Skills

The library curriculum is one of the chief support programs for the school curriculum. In the primary grades, emphasis is placed on developing a familiarity with the areas of the library, procedures for borrowing and returning books, and, most importantly, a love for books and literature. In the upper grades, students learn and utilize research techniques as a part of the library experience. A deeper understanding of the various fiction genres and types of non-fiction literature is developed. Students visit the library as a wonderful resource and a place to explore literature.

The Day School has a robust library collection and is continuously increasing the collection with the newest titles to support curriculum units and for pleasure reading.
