In PreK and Kindergarten, the Lower School library program supports and reinforces classroom learning, and offers a language and literary experience not duplicated elsewhere in the school. Students meet weekly with the librarian for oral activities such as storytelling, poetry, rhyme, chants and act-outs, as well as presentation of picture books and other visuals. In addition, the librarian works closely with the music and dance specialists to produce special assembly programs throughout the year.

In grades 2 through 4 the library serves as a resource center for students and teachers. Students are scheduled for weekly library visits, usually devoted to reading a variety of literary works and participating in related activities. The librarian is an active participant in the life of the school, and regularly collaborates with teachers on projects in each grade.
