Greenwich
Academy offers students and faculty a comprehensive program of library
and media services in two facilities, the David Wallace Library
for students PC through Group IV and the Middle and Upper School
Library for Groups V through XII. The goals of the library program
are to provide a context for research and study skills for students,
to provide access to material that will support the curriculum and
to encourage reading and independent learning as life long activities.
The print collections of the two libraries number approximately
20,000 volumes. Access to a broad range of information sources is
provided through web-based reference sources such as Britannica
Online, the New York Times and a comprehensive periodicals database.
Each library subscribes to appropriate periodicals and newspapers
and maintains back holdings. SIRSI Unicorn provides the online catalogue
for our libraries.
Families are encouraged to use the Academy libraries. There is an
active program for parent volunteers and new books and class projects
are on display. Both libraries are designed to be reading centers
for the school community. Donations honoring students or teachers
are always welcome, especially during Parents' Nights in the fall
and Books in Bloom, the annual spring book fair.
