Libraries

The Santa Catalina School library's mission is to foster an appreciation of literature and to encourage students to reach their full potential as informed citizens of the world and responsible users and creators of information and ideas.

Library staff is available to provide assistance and instruction and is happy to help students and teachers do research and find good books to read.
