LIBRARIES AT SSFS

Sandy Spring Friends School now houses its 25,000+ volume collection in two locations: The Caroline Hallowell Worth Memorial Library in Yarnall and the Tanglewood Library Center in the 4th and 5th grade building of the Lower School. Librarians are available to teach and help community members between 8 AM and 5 PM Monday - Friday. In addition to the books, CD's, videos, audiotapes and other formats available in the libraries, we subscribe to a wide variety of databases for research that are delivered via the World Wide Web and can be accessed by any computer that is connected to the Internet either at home and at school.

The libraries also feature student art and other displays. A "Room of Requirement" in Yarnall is used by students in US and MS as a place to study and read and and to socialize and play board games, or, if the library has several classes using the main room, the Room of Requirement can become a quiet study space.

Tanglewood Library Center is the primary meeting place for Lower School library classes and storytimes as well as LS classes doing research, and some of the students in the aftercare program.
