A space for minds
To roam free
The Steward School campus houses two libraries serving the unique needs of our school population. Together, Steward librarians Carlee Cutchin (Lower) and Crystal Hamlin (Middle and Upper) curate targeted reading selections and research sources to build knowledge and grow curious readers and scholars.
Lower School
Steward's Lower School library offers nearly 12,000 books available for checkout, fostering a wide appreciation for literature and supporting curriculum through collaboration with teachers. Students are encouraged to cultivate their imaginations in Charlotte’s Corner, a cozy and inviting area for young readers. Developing digital researchers have access to online encyclopedias that can be navigated on student iPads.
Students are encouraged to return, browse, and check out books any day of the week. Each day has 2-3 scheduled periods for open checkout and book returns. In addition to books in the library, the students have access to ebooks and audiobooks. The readings we do in each grade level help foster an appreciation of different types of literature and instill a love of reading. Those research skills students begin in the Lower School library will help them in completing their coursework as they transition to Middle School.
