Mission of the Library

The library houses a collection of current resources aligned with the Tabor curriculum and reflecting the needs and diversity of our community. It is the goal of the library program to assist students in becoming effective and responsible users of information and to instill an appreciation for ideas captured in print, audio, visual, and digital form.

The library provides a wireless environment for students seeking assistance with assignments, individual and group study spaces, or a quiet, comfortable place to read and conduct research.
