Library Programs
The Stanley Library invites all students and their parents to join us for a series of book discussions. We are hosting these special gatherings for parents and their children to come together and talk about an assigned book. There is also an active Upper School student book group. This group of students meets 4 or 5 times each year to discuss a book of their choosing.
