The Schoolhouse Library was renamed in 2011 as the Anne Frank Library, named in honor of the historical figure and the Baldwin family who anonymously made a $1 million commitment to the school.
This library serves as a central intellectual force within the school by:
- teaching all students to be independent, resourceful, critical and effective users of information available in various media / formats, through a library media skills program that is integrated into the school's curriculum;
- instilling the knowledge that libraries are essential to life-long learning;
- encouraging the love of reading, providing carefully selected resources in multiple formats to meet the academics, personal information, and recreational needs of the school community;
- educating all members of the school community on copyright regulations and fair use of intellectual property in all formats;
- providing the school community with resources beyond our own, through cooperative resource sharing;
- utilizing electronic resources as tools for information retrieval and use;
- promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of information technology and the curriculum; and
- being a center for information services as well as creative ideas, programs, and activities.
