Loeb Library

The Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 Library goes by several names... Lower School Library, Middle School Library, etc. Prior to 1995, the library was located near the bell-tower entrance where the current music room is now. Thanks to renovations and a generous contribution from Jesse and Rose Loeb, the library is approximately 3,500 sq. ft. The present location of the library is between both Middle School hallways. Three of the walls have large windows for observing the daily activities. There is plenty of natural light above the reading area. There are 9 computers available for student research. Students in PK through Grade 6 come to the library once a week for library instruction, children's literature appreciation and research as directed by the librarian. There are nearly 17,000 titles in the Loeb Library collection including reference, fiction, nonfiction, magazines, books on tape and videos. The Library's collection is thorough and diverse in order to best serve 3/4 of the School's population. On one side of the library, the students can check out books by Dr. Seuss. One the other side, a student can check out a book on ancient Roman culture as well as a book on Roman recipes to add authenticity to a Lower or Middle research project.
