Our fall orders are finally arriving, so please stop by to check what's come in. You can also check availability in our catalog.

It's time to start booking your research lessons. I can come to you, or you can bring your classes up to the library. We have 25 laptops and 7 desktops for students to use. Learn about our databases or the exciting Women and the American Story collection.

We hosted Lambda Literary writer Sarah Moon for a writing residency. Stay tuned for the first Lambda Literary teen journal which will feature our young LGBTQIA+ students' writing!

Chris will be here every afternoon starting in April.

Alexandria (Ria for short) is graduating her MLIS program in 2024 and can't wait to hit the ground running in YA librarianship.

She currently works with the NYPL at the Francis Martin Library and is beyond excited to get involved with the NYC teacher-librarian community. Ria will be here on Wednesdays starting in late March.
