I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library

--Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986)


Marlborough School Salvatori Library offers comprehensive services, resources, and an evolving technology infrastructure for the entire learning community of our School. Its director and the library staff are available to assist the students, teachers, and parents in their research, curricular projects and recreational reading. The Library services are especially designed to promote the School's Mission, which is to offer a superior college preparatory education in a nurturing environment to a diverse group of young women.

"Marlborough believes that, for women, academic excellence, leadership skills, and confidence flourish best in a school exclusively devoted to their education. The Marlborough community enables each student to develop her fullest potential so that she may contribute in a global society."

Special activities that the Salvatori Library coordinates and promotes include our new Blog, orientation for new students, and Book and Media Fair. As we celebrate the Sixth National Book Festival, come along and visit "authors" pages as well as the poster that will grace our walls.

Our own School Library Archives is being conceptualized! Meanwhile, read all about archives here. Visit us for some exciting materials soon!
