Jackson Library

Completed in 2002, the state-of-the-art Jackson Library is the center of academic inquiry and discovery on campus. The two-story, 16,000 square foot facility contains over 17,000 volumes and subscriptions to over 100 periodicals and newspapers. The library web page links students to a virtual library of thousands of online resources that support and enrich the curriculum.  

Students dig-in, buckle-down, team-up and kick-back to research, study and read in the expansive, light-drenched reference room, individual study carrels, quiet reading room and small group study rooms of the Jackson Library.  Lower School students enjoy the friendly, exciting atmosphere in the Katz Lower School Library.   An integral component of Berwick's academic experience, the library program fosters information literacy, literature appreciation and lifelong learning through a variety of classes and activities. 

Computers, both hard-wired and wireless, provide access to the rich resources of online databases and the Internet.  Access to these same resources and the library's catalog are available from any computer on campus and from home computers. In addition, the library is a member of the Southern Maine Library District providing access to the resources of state, regional and national libraries through the SMLD interlibrary loan program.
