The Information Hub at Model Laboratory School is the Library! The Model Library is an intellectual, creative, and social space where K-12 students and teachers gather resources, share ideas, and learn together. Here, students will be problem solvers, creative generators, and world explorers. They will learn how to find the answers to any question they think of, as well as find joy in literature and technology!
