Library
Nurturing intellect and imagination involves getting the right set of tools into the hands of our students.
Once they have the resources, students learn the skills to use them critically and ethically. Our libraries are a gateway to great literature and research, providing opportunities for the Brentwood School community to see the world through a variety of lenses. In addition to recommending good books to read, our librarians teach information literacy and research skills, which are integrated into the curriculum. Given the impact of technology on libraries, they regularly evaluate and update students' lessons to incorporate new ways of accessing, organizing, and using information.
