Libraries & Learning Commons

Through books, electronic resources, information literacy, vibrant spaces and synergistic faculty, the libraries of Convent & Stuart Hall inspire each student to embark on their intellectual journey. Balancing new technology with traditional research formats and engaging students in collaborative and reflective spaces, we help them to discover and interrogate the past, to make sense of the present and to imagine and design for the future.

Information Philosophy

The school’s information philosophy, made robust through integrated work with faculty in support of coursework and student agency, teaches students the transformative power of meaningful questions. In this environment, students are encouraged to inquire rigorously, evaluate masterfully and disagree respectfully and informatively.

Library collections are dynamic and reflect a comprehensive understanding of the curriculum resonant with the Great Text philosophy, and empower deep thought, authentic inquiry, creativity and joy. The libraries’ multi-dimensional resources — human, physical, digital, and spatial — provide places for our students to read, research and reflect as well as to collaborate and create in community.
