Our school is proud to be one of the only schools in the district with a full, dedicated library—and it shows in the daily life of our students. The library is a vibrant, welcoming hub where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is supported, and every learner can find a place to grow.
The library functions as a third space: not home, not classroom, but a flexible, comfortable environment where students can be themselves. It’s a place to read, collaborate, explore new interests, decompress, and connect with peers. This sense of belonging is a cornerstone of our school culture.
Students in every grade have daily open access to the library. Whether they’re looking for a quiet reading nook, a collaborative workspace, or help finding the right book or resource, the library is always ready to support them.
Our library is deeply integrated into the academic experience. Through partnerships with teachers, we provide research and information‑literacy instruction across content areas, helping students learn to evaluate sources, navigate digital tools, and communicate their ideas effectively. These are essential skills for high school, college, and beyond.
We believe students thrive when they have access to the wider literary and cultural world. Our library partners with:
-
Brooklyn Public Library, giving students access to citywide resources and programming
-
Lambda Literary, supporting inclusive reading experiences
-
Additional community organizations, bringing authors, workshops, and special events directly to our students
These partnerships enrich our curriculum and help students see themselves as part of a larger community of readers, thinkers, and creators.
