On Friday afternoon, September 9th, St. Andrew's held their annual book discussions. These book discussons are designed to have groups of students meet with various faculty members; to chat about the literature they recommended for summer reading. 319 students had a list of 53 books in which to choose, all selected by their teachers. The directive to the students was to read two books from this very diverse list. All students were required to read Sarah Atwater Abbott's '99 commencement speech to the Class of 2011, Pack Your Parachute Well.
The Irene duPont Library has a site
license to both The New York Times
and The Washington Post newspapers. This allows all members
of the community with a St. Andrew's School email address to have their very own account and to have full access to both publications.

What is book banning? According to the ALA (American Library Association), "book banning, a form of censorship, occurs when private individuals, government officials, or organizations remove books from libraries, school reading lists, or bookstore shelves because they object to their content, ideas or themes." The photo above shows a few of the more recent books that have been banned from schools and libraries.
For off-campus access of any subscription resource (i.e. paid-for databases), you'll be prompted to login first to OpenAthens. Your username is your "firstname.lastname" (for example john.smith); please contact us for the password, or if you have questions.
