Going Beyond the Collection

The United Library offers many services.  Just a few of them are detailed below. 

Copying and Printing

Displays and Exhibits

Laptop Checkout

Members of the Seabury and Garrett communities with current  Garrett or Seabury IDs may check out laptops for use within the main Garrett building.  Details are available at the circulation desk at Garrett.   Laptops are loaded with Office 2007 and Media Shout.  A few have "Text-Aloud" which converts text to audio files for those with visual impairments.  Borrowers must have their own USB flash drive in order to save their work.   

Programs & Events

To complement the academic units, the library occasionally offers supplemental programming. 

Meeting Spaces
