Library
The library is the school’s primary academic resource center. It houses a collection of approximately 20,000 print, audiovisual, and web-based subscription services. We subscribe to several digital newspapers and provide access to online subscription resources such as JSTOR, ProQuest’s Historical Newspapers, CQ Research, Original Sources, and many more. Suffield’s library also has an additional 60,000 digital volumes in Ebook Central and 90,000 in the EBSCO ebook collection, accessible via the EDS search box.
The library is a quiet place for students to study, read, and relax. Students are encouraged to stop by regularly to check out featured displays and contribute ideas. Audiovisual equipment is available for loan, and students are encouraged to take advantage of our collection of digital and video cameras, projectors, and DVDs. The Library’s web-based catalog can be accessed remotely to check for material availability.
We welcome you to meet our S. Kent Legare Library staff of excellent librarians who will assist you in finding a book or utilizing our electronic resources. For more information, please email Lindsey Fava, Director of the Library.
