Welcome to the Tehiyah Day School Library!
In the Tehiyah Day School library the "People of the Book" celebrate the power of stories to stretch hearts and minds. At the same time students learn the information literacy tools they will need to acquire, analyze, prioritize, synthesize and evaluate information. In the Information Age such skills are at least as important as the facts they learn. We cannot teach them all they will need to know. Much of that has not yet been discovered or invented. But we can give them the skills and foster the attitudes that encourage their becoming life-long learners curious about their world and grounded in Jewish values while open to other perspectives and experiences.
The Tehiyah Day School Library’s collection is remarkable for a K-8 school of its size. Almost 20,000 titles include more than a thousand written in Hebrew and more than 1200 fiction and nonfiction Judaica titles. The collection also includes an extensive reference section, a large literature selection at a variety of reading levels, folk and fairy tales from all over the world, and a comprehensive nonfiction section.
