STANTON LIBRARY
The Stanton Library serves our middle and upper school students from the second floor of the school. Not only does the library serve to support and enrich the curriculum to help students become effective users of ideas and information, it also fosters a life-long love of reading in our students.
To prepare our students for the challenges of conducting research in a technologically advanced society, our library offers print and electronic sources. It's home to more than 10,000 volumes and offers access to thousands of periodicals and electronic reference sources through its collection of database subscriptions.
Our librarian also collaborates with teachers to integrate research techniques and information seeking skills across all areas of the curriculum. Additionally, a number of book clubs and other reading programs are available to encourage our students to discover their literary tastes. The Stanton Library also offers several computers and a green room for student use.
The Stanton Library is open from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and Friday 7:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Friday during the school year. On early dismissal days, the library will close at 1 p.m.
