Look Inside
Library
Shady Hill's library is an essential resource for our students, faculty, and apprentice teachers. The space is designed as one large room with separate areas for reading, storytelling, research, and homework. Our facilities include a collection of more than 25,000 books, subscriptions to numerous magazines, an array of computers for on-line work, and displays of student artwork. The librarians work with students aged four to fourteen to develop an appreciation for books and reading, and a facility with research and scholarship. We invite you to explore the nearby Library Links!
