Hassenfeld could use your help

The library needs help reshelving returned books. Sign up here to volunteer. 
By Susan Schoenecker, Library Volunteer Coordinator

Things are busy in Hassenfeld Library as students return to regular use of the beloved space. While it's a joy to see so many students of all ages enthusiastic about reading, it means our librarians could use your help — happy readers return over 1,000 books weekly that have to be reshelved. If you would like to help us out, please complete the form here. You are welcome to coordinate with your child’s library day. The Lower School library class schedule is available for reference here

In addition to help reshelving books, volunteers may be asked for help finding books with students or other activities helpful to the Hassenfeld Library staff. Volunteers should plan to check in with a member of the library staff upon arrival to go over shelving and other library procedures. All volunteers must adhere to USN's COVID-related protocols and all other school rules while on campus.

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
