Welcome to the Newman Library!

The library's mission is to create a space where all members of the school community:

  • Experience a variety of activities that nurture a love of reading and lifelong learning. 
  • See themselves represented in the library’s diverse and inclusive collection. 
  • Develop information literacy in order to identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively to understand and connect with the community and world around us.
  • Have opportunities to collaborate, communicate, and explore their creativity with others.
