The Glenholme School Library
 

 

 


The library at the Devereux Glenholme School is a favorite place for students, staff, and teachers.

The library contains over 4,000 books. Through the work of the development staff and our parents' fundraising efforts, 2,600 books were recently added to our collection. Library patrons can choose a book from our fiction, non-fiction, biography and reference shelves. There is also an "easy" section for new readers that includes both fiction and nonfiction titles.

The library's atrium displays framed student art accompanied by a handcrafted sign designed and donated by one of Glenholme's parents. Inside, the library also provides an art gallery for students to proudly display current works. There are four computers in the library for student and staff use and accessing the card catalog online. The ability to use the computers to research not only the library at the Glenholme School, but also appropriate Internet sites creates opportunities for our students to develop the skills they will need to succeed in any academic setting.

The design of the library allows it to be flooded with natural lighting. Younger students love the colorful rug in the story-time circle. Glenholme students learn the skills that will allow them to navigate through both the physical collection and the virtual information available online with ease.

The Devereux Glenholme library is open to students during the school day, after school until 9:00 p.m. and some summer weekend hours.
