Library
Educating young people to become knowledgeable, thoughtful, and creative researchers is part of our mission, and Commonwealth students learn to gather and manage information skillfully. That starts in our Library, which aims to facilitate access to information relevant to the coursework and our community's academic interests. Research skills learned in the library will equip students to lead well-informed, thoughtful, productive lives. The Library consists of a rich variety of print and electronic resources, connections to outside libraries and collections, and a program of information literacy instruction.
