Dive into learning with us.

Home to three full-service libraries, one in each respective division, MICDS libraries enthusiastically support teaching and learning with a rich collection of databases, print materials, and digital tools. Each is staffed by full-time, professionally trained librarians.

Butler-Spencer Library (Grades JK-4)

The Lower School’s Spencer Library is a magical place that our youngest MICDS students visit each week to develop a love and respect for books, ideas, and learning. Part of the total educational program of the Ronald S. Beasley School, it provides guidance in the use of library services and resources to personalize teaching and individualize learning.

Messing Library (Grades 5-8)

At the Messing Library, located in Middle School, students enjoy a rich collection of information resources to support their academic studies and satiate their curiosity. The librarian, who has master’s degrees in K-8 education and in library and information studies, team teaches with faculty to integrate authentic, inquiry-based learning, research, and information literacy. The librarian joys in nurturing a community of readers by maintaining a collection of the latest and greatest Middle School-appropriate novels and graphic novels for all our readers.

McCulloch Library (Grades 9-12)

Filled with popular fiction and non-fiction books, the Upper School’s McCulloch Library promotes information literacy, research, and a love of reading. It is staffed by two full-time librarians who collaborate closely with faculty to integrate research into the curriculum and teach students the necessary strategies to navigate information ethically and effectively.
