Develop knowledge and skills necessary for success in the 21st century
Cultivate a lifelong love of learning and reading
Resources of the library include
People: librarians working with students and faculty, teaching research and information literacy skills, connecting readers to literature
Collections: from picture books to reference databases, for all grade and age levels
Spaces: geared for classes, group work, and individual study
Technology: as a tool for accessing the physical and virtual collection, as well as the wider world of information
The Hassenfeld Library is open every school day from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
