We Love Books!
The Stevens Library strives to be a place of refuge, comfort and inclusion. The right book can be a temporary and welcome escape from the doldrums and/or worries of today. Know that much time is being devoted to building and refining our collection to ensure our library is a source of different voices, stories and interests.

Getting Library Books! 
UPDATE: As some students transition to in-person learning, the physical library space remains closed. Students may continue to place materials on hold via the Stevens Library Catalog (Destiny). Follow the instructions listed under "Announcements" on the catalog home page or click on the following link for video instructions: https://spark.adobe.com/video/wyIQFFMERrNvM
For students attending school in-person, books placed on hold will be delivered to the classrooms. The library will (sadly) not be open for browsing. Students remaining full-time remote learners will be contacted to schedule pick-up or delivery of library books. Please don't hesitate to contact Tanya with any questions.
