Library Access

"Because that’s what Hermione does,” said Ron, shrugging. “When in doubt, go to the library."

School libraries are increasingly becoming campus community centers where students go not only to find and read books for pleasure and research, but also to meet with peers; seek tutoring; attend talks, readings and performances; learn information science skills; and play with games and puzzles. To that end, the Doane Stuart library is a creative and vibrant communal space that allows for independent reading and study, collaboration with peers and teachers, and a variety of extracurricular and social events. Our library is a dynamic space used, filled with a sense of discovery. 

Encompassing books from the Kenwood Academy, the St. Agnes School and Doane Stuart, the library houses over 12,000 titles, ranging from rare, mid-nineteenth century titles (think the Gustave Doré-illustrated Inferno) to the most recent Caldecott, Newbery and National Book Award winners. Students enjoy access to over 15,000 eBooks through Overdrive, which they may access anywhere, as well as a variety of research databases and interlibrary loan through the Capital Region BOCES School Library System. Apple computers are available for student use.  

The library also houses the Writing Center, a peer-based tutoring program, where upper school students may seek help on any writing-based assignment from trained junior and senior writing tutors.
