THE ELLIE KLOPP LIBRARY at the Lower School
Our largest library, named for the school's first librarian, Ellie Klopp, is the Lower School Library which offers the RSSAA community over 10,000 titles --- everything from Readers for those beginning to experience the joy of written words, to Paperback and hardcover Fiction books and series for older readers, as well as a General collection for all students to explore an array of subjects (nonfiction and literature classified by a modified Dewey Decimal system). This library is open for circulation on Monday through Thursday afternoons when the Lower School is in session. Books are checked out using a TinyCat System and the card system, which includes handwritten or stamped book pocket cards and due date cards. On site, there is a "retired" classic Card Catalog for patrons to explore, along with an internet connection for librarians to access online resources and tools, such as LibraryThing!
