Library

The MEF IS Library serves as a dynamic resource center, supporting both curriculum needs and recreational reading for our entire school community, from Preschool through Grade 12. Our collection is extensive and current, featuring both physical and digital resources designed to cultivate a love for reading and enhance each student’s educational journey. We warmly invite families to explore our resources and discover the wide variety of materials available to support learning and engagement.

Parent Access
Parents are welcome to join as library patrons and may check out up to 10 books at a time. Circulation guidelines for students also apply to parents (e.g., one book per author and one in a series). Parents are also invited to volunteer their time in the library, assisting with tasks such as shelving and labeling.
