Welcome, students and families, to the Doherty Middle School Library homepage! Below, you'll find information on searching for books via the online catalog, and e-books and audiobooks via SORA (students may find these applications in ClassLink). In addition, there are links to libraries and services available to students as residents of Andover and the State of Massachusetts. Feel free to speak with the librarian if you are working on a project and would like help finding resources, help with the research process, or would just like to chat. Stop by anytime to see what new books and materials we have. Suggestions to make your library better are always welcome.
