Libraries


Committed to the principles of intellectual freedom, our libraries maintain more than 25,000 resources that acquaint students with diverse cultures, perspectives, experiences, and ideas.

Key School is home to three distinct libraries, each specifically dedicated to the Division(s) it serves. 

In addition to printed books, students and faculty have access to many eBooks and Audiobooks via Overdrive, using the Sora App.

Our dynamic libraries are a hub for student activity hosting a variety of events for students such as the Black-Eyed Susan Voting celebration, “Indie Reading” time, the African-American Read-In, and Winter Book Bash.

 

 

Manse Library

The warm and welcoming Manse Library serves the First and Lower Schools. A vibrant library program teaches students to become both effective researchers and discriminating readers. A 6,000-plus volume collection includes books and materials that inform, enchant, and inspire our youngest students from Key-Wee through 4th grade.
