    The Athenian School Library Program supports the school curriculum through specialized collection development, teacher collaboration, information literacy instruction, and technology, and offers flexible teaching and learning facilities. In addition to its extensive collection of books, magazines, films, electronic media and archival collections, the Library is a hub for student activity. The Library hosts community events, displays student art, leads student book groups, and serves as a Makerspace with a 3-D printer and tool lending collection. The robust student-centered fiction collection, comfortable reading spaces, creative book displays and engaged Library staff promote a rich and fulfilling reading experience. Students and parents are integral to the Library program and can serve on the Library Advisory Board or as Library volunteers.
