THE BURKE FAMILY LIBRARY
“The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library”
- Albert Einstein -
The Burke Family Library is an active space for study, creativity, and group work - with a living collection of over 5,000 prints, alongside access to extensive online databases that span a vast array of subjects and disciplines. Our collection is intentionally curated in response to our teacher’s evolving curriculum, with an eye towards showcasing diverse viewpoints and voices. Students become skilled and efficient researchers, empowered to investigate their interests and refine their own subject mastery.
