LIBRARY AND MEDIA CENTERS

Canterbury students enjoy access to two libraries, one on the Hough Campus for prekindergarten through grade four, and the other on the Knowlton Campus for grades 5-12. All students may use either campus library.

The collection currently includes just under 20,000 volumes and myriad resources for both academic research and reading for pleasure. Students are able to search the catalog online from home through a link to the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). There is an online research database, QuestiaSchool, for upper school students in grades 9-12 with full-text books and journals, as well as a professional development section for faculty completing advanced degrees. Students in grades 7-12 also have access to Ebrary, a collection of 45,000+ electronic books for research endeavors.

New this year for the Hough Campus is the TumbleBookLibrary, a collection of TumbleBooks (animated, talking picture books), TumblePuzzles and TumbleQuizzes, as well as TumbleResources for teacher. TumbleBooks are created from existing picture books. For login information, contact Linda Garrison.

Summer reading, Sunshine State books, Book Fairs, and friendly competitions encourage literacy and a love of reading among students.
