MSC Library

Welcome to the Mount Saint Charles Library Media Center!

Our goal is to support students as lifelong learners by developing their information literacy skills and a love of reading through access to a variety of online and print materials and resources as well as opportunities for collaboration, inquiry and ethical research.

The library is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM unless otherwise stated. Students and teachers are welcome to use the library's main space as well as the quieter enclosed classroom for class projects and presentations, reading, and studying.
