Our Libraries

Schutz American School has two separate library sites on campus: the Elementary School Library in Walters Hall and the Middle/High School Library in Meloy Hall. The Schutz Elementary School Library serves our Early Childhood through grade 5 classes, while the Schutz Middle School/High School Library serves our middle school through senior classes. 

In order to support the school mission, the libraries strive to enhance literacy in the school, as well as enrich, inform, entertain and support inquiry for our students. The goal of our library program is to provide an engaging and supportive student learning center that promotes information literacy skills and a love of reading, by guiding students to find “just right” books. Our libraries strive to suit all learning platforms as well as meet our students' needs. 

Our library resources are a clear reflection of our target. We provide students access to a wide variety of fiction and informational materials. These include a fantastic selection of picture books, beginner readers, “chapter” books, young and adult reader books, as well as nonfiction books, audio, ebooks, and online resources. 

The libraries support research by helping students select reliable resources, work on proper citation, generate a professional essay outline, and learn methods to check for plagiarism.

Our libraries are considered a school resource center for all students, faculty, staff members, and parents.
