Library Resources

The Bay School's Fulbright Library is a highlight of the school’s newly renovated historic campus, and provides an exceptional learning environment that is used and enjoyed by all members of the school community. The 3,000 square foot library has a capacity of more than 12,000 books, books on CD, and DVDs. In addition to an online library catalog, the library also subscribes to more than 30 databases including access to thousands of ebooks.

The mission of the library is to provide information in a variety of media, to teach the tools for using that information effectively and ethically, to promote reading for pleasure, and to provide a space that is warm and inviting, encouraging the flow of intellectual curiosity and discourse.

The spacious, well-lighted library design provides comfortable study spaces for groups engaged in project work as well as cozy, quiet spaces for individual students to read, do homework, and relax. A separate periodical reading room within the space displays the school’s collection of more than 80 magazines and newspapers. The library collection includes resources for parents and teachers. A foreign language section includes books and DVDs in Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese. Utilizing a self-checkout computer system, students and faculty members have full access to library materials during the entire school day and are able to use on-site computers and scanners to transfer copies of documents directly onto their laptops.
