Crile Library
The Crile Library Learning Commons and Ruhlman Resource Center serves Grade 5 through adults. We encourage girls to read responsibly and enjoy a wide variety of genres. We are mindful of the wide range of interests and maturity levels of our girls. Without limiting their choices, we encourage our students to select books appropriate for them and encourage parents to talk with their daughters about the books they are reading.
The American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights guides our practice: Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or view of those contributing to their creation.
With nearly 15,000 square-feet of space on two levels, Crile Library is a beautiful and inviting reading, research, and collaboration space. It also houses an enclosed classroom to integrate the best of electronic and print resources for students.Highlights of the Crile Library include:
- 18,000-volume collection
