Oakwood School

Library

The library is located in the main office building.

Lower school classes have a regularly scheduled library time in the main school library. There are also book-related programs/events for our families.

  • Birthday Book Program: You are encouraged to donate a book to the Birthday Book program for your child’s birthday or half-birthday. The book you donate will be embellished with a book plate telling readers of your donation in your child’s name. It will be gift-wrapped and delivered at school to your child on his or her day (or as close as we can get!). Your child will get first priority reading it, and when s/he is done, the book goes to the library for others to read as part of the permanent collection. A great way to encourage reading and leave a little legacy on our library shelves!

  • Book Exchange: The library also sponsors a Book Exchange in conjunction with the Spring Open House. If you have books in good condition that your students have outgrown, please consider donating them to the Book Exchange to trade them for books that are more suitable for your student’s current reading level.

Notification about these events will come by email, and there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer.

Upper school students have access to JSTOR, a digital library of up-to-date academic journals, books, and primary sources.
