Library Services 
The Fontbonne Academy Library offers individuals, students, groups, and classes, instruction in research and information literacy. By practicing these increasingly complex skills, students prepare for each level of the school's challenging curriculum. The Library also pursues an ongoing program to provide students and faculty with access to current print materials, electronic databases, and visual materials. Both library services and materials support classroom curriculum, but also aim to encourage in students a life-long love of learning.
