LibGuides: Prep School Library: Faculty Resources

Let's Collaborate!

Class visits are very welcome in the library! If your class is working on a research project, feel free to bring your students down to the library. I am also available and excited to visit your class to reach one-off lessons on research, information literacy and citations. Please email me at sfriedlander@cgps.org to set up a visit.

If you would like your students to receive one-on-one research help, email me or send them down during school hours.
