Welcome to Booth Library

Our mission is "to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information by supporting the school's curriculum with access to current, adequate and appropriate information resources" which foster the continuing development of lifelong learning.

The Booth Library houses 15,000 volumes and subscribes to a variety of magazines and newspapers, many with back issues in print or microfilm.

The library and the adjacent Brunetti Computer Lab house 25-networked Windows XP computers with Microsoft Office and Internet access. The library is also a wireless area where students' laptops can be used.

Electronic & Online Resources

Several academic full-text online databases are available on the library's Website as well as periodicals, newspapers and the New York State Library's NOVEL, a virtual library of subject specific reference resources. These resources as well as the library home page can be accessed 24 hours a day.
