About the Library

The Library at Earl Haig supports learning and inquiry across the curriculum. We provide access to physical and digital collections, quiet and collaborative study space, and guidance for research and reading.

Our space is designed for both focused study and group work. Students can borrow books, use computers, and get help from staff with finding sources and citing correctly. We also host reading programs and workshops throughout the year. The library reflects the school’s commitment to Carpe Diem—seizing the day—by making resources and support readily available to every student.
