Library

The mission of the Villa Academy Library program is to ensure all members of our learning community have the resources and knowledge to become life-long learners and effective users of ideas and information.

Serving preschool, lower school, and middle school students, the Villa Academy Library houses more than 8,000 print volumes, a variety of electronic resources and includes comfortable light filled spaces designed to provide for whole class instruction, individual study, quiet reading, storytelling, and small groups.

The library is staffed with a full time teacher librarian and full time library assistant.
