LYNDHURST LIBRARY

Hours/Contact

Phone 440.423.2031

Starting with preschool, students are guided in selecting books to check out during weekly scheduled library times, during free times or before or after school. Library classes are an instructional time for students to learn skills to support their research, explore various genres of literature, and work on shared projects around themes. Students may come to the Library at any time between class visits to exchange books for new selections.

Special Events
Each year under the management of Hawken's Families Association a book fair is held to support the Visiting Author Fund. Money raised goes directly to sponsoring an author’s daylong visit to campus. Authors share, through discussion and presentation their writing/reading experiences with students. Students in grades K-8 participate in the program. Through the Visiting Author Program, Hawken has hosted such notable writers and illustrators as Rosemary Wells, Andrea Davis Pinkney, Sharon Draper, and Patricia Polacco.

Centrally located between the Tech Help Center, The Writing Center, and the Learning Center, the Learning Commons is a place for group collaboration, quiet study, relaxing, and discovering resources that empower students to meet their research goals. The Upper School print collection is distributed throughout the school by subject matter. The performing arts collection is in the performing arts hallway, the science collection is in the science commons, etc. If students want to use a book, they can take it at any time and return it to the main desk when they are finished.

The librarian is happy to offer research assistance whenever requested. You can set up an appointment by emailing rgree@hawken.edu, or by stopping by the commons anytime for help.
