Library Mission

At the Robinson Memorial Library we intentionally:

  • provide services and information to support the academic, artistic and recreational needs of the staff, students, and broader school community

  • promote literature appreciation and information skills

  • provide an academically stimulating environment, which encourages a love of reading and learning

Our aim is to educate and nurture patrons to read for pleasure and to develop the necessary skills to use information, ideas, and technology ethically, creatively, and critically in order to make intelligent decisions and develop into life long-learners.

Library Resources

Our school library provides print and online resources to support the St. Thomas' curriculum, to foster the enjoyment of reading, to teach character through responsible library behavior, and to cultivate the life-long learner. The library subscribes to Gale databases for all students and Questia (personal online library available at www.questia.com ) for high school students.
