The Episcopal Day School

The mission of the Episcopal Day School's library is to support the school in achieving their educational goals. By providing a variety of services, students develop a love for books, an appreciation for literature, and an understanding of how to gather information. The library houses a collection of over 5000 books, magazines and reference materials. In addition, our Accelerated Reader program is available to students on every reading level. The library is available to students at regularly scheduled times during the week and for independent study during non-scheduled times.

Annual Book Swap: Every year in November, our library hosts a school-wide "Book Swap" to celebrate National Children's Book Week. To participate, each student brings 4 books from home (books they no longer read or want) and "swap" them for 3 books brought in by other students. The students love this event! What a great way for students to acquire new books without spending any money!

Book Fair: Another annual event is our Book Fair. This library fun raiser is supported by our students, faculty, parents, and is open to the general public. This event has grown so large and successful that in recent years we have moved it to the church Parish Hall. Using a different theme each year, the whole school gets involved in the decorating. The book fair kicks off with a Family Night from 6:00-8:00pm and continues during school hours for the remainder of the week. Our library directly benefits from the sale of each book! Past book fairs have contributed to the purchase of new books, software, subscriptions to online encyclopedias, and computer equipment.
