Library

To contemplate and to give to others the fruits of contemplation is one of the mottos of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, the Order that founded and operates Overbrook School. The heart of that motto is found in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered at Overbrook each week and many of our students and teachers can be found living out that motto in our treasured library. 

A spacious, split-level brick library holds 10,000 volumes and is beloved at Overbrook School. Our youngest Eagles gather with Mrs. Crouch, Overbrook’s Librarian, and our junior high eagles can be found researching and reading throughout the year. The mission of the Overbrook library is to connect with students as individuals by providing resources and instruction for differentiated learning styles and ultimately facilitating self-motivated, life-long learning as well as to provide a peaceful area to read, write, and reflect.

The Overbrook library media center supports and enriches the curriculum with a collection of materials that meets the needs of the students and faculty it serves. The community is invited for StoryTime each quarter, Overbrook’s Library is one of the busiest places in our school.
