Library Access

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.
