Library
Students are welcome to use the library individually before and after school and during the school day during study halls, free periods or lunch. Class instruction or projects may occasionally take precedence over student usage.
Our mission is to provide instruction, resources, and support to students and faculty so that they may obtain the information they need for school assignments, reading for pleasure, and personal enrichment. We achieve this by providing print, multimedia, and online resources, instruction, equipment, technological support and training in a welcoming and organized environment.
Catalogs
If we have don't a book you're looking for, we may be able to get it from another school in the region. Search here to access other school libraries, and ask one of us for help if you find something you want.

This includes the Lansing Public Library, the main branch in downtown Ithaca, and all other town branches. Sorry, but we are not able to borrow directly from the public library! If you don't have a public library card (they are free), you can get a library card here.
