Library

Lower & Middle School Library

The wide world of books awaits your child in our imaginative and delightful library. Storybooks come to life in a full size hobbit house built just for cozying up with a good book.

Our librarians use their creativity to transform the library into a place of wonder for children (and even parents!). Sometimes walking into the library it feels as if you are stepping through the coat closet into Narnia, while other times it feels as if you've just had a Kansas tornado send you all the way to Oz.

But the library experience is more than meets the eye. Our librarians Ms. Besser and Mr. Nelson deeply understand the power of books. "Each time a child asks me for a book recommendation and we walk the stacks together, I pray for the wisdom to pick a book for that particular child that will ignite a powerful spark of curiosity inside of them." Through the process of reading and reflection, children are encouraged to pursue their interests and discover knowledge and wisdom. 

Additionally, as your child grows in their reading and comprehension skills, our librarians will track their progress. This information is provided to your child's teacher and together they will guide and grow your child as they continue on their reading journey.
