Library

The Academy library, located in historic Magraw Hall provides a full range of on-line and traditional research capabilities and resources for students and faculty. The library's fireplace is also the perfect place to curl up with a good book in the winter season. 

The library collection supports our needs for research and independent study, as well as relaxed and leisure reading, through a variety of sources which include newspapers, periodicals, books, audio books, videotapes, DVDs, and CD-ROMs.  The community has web-based access to the library's catalog and many electronic database resources while on or off campus.  Interlibrary loans augment the library's resources by providing access to Maryland public and college libraries through nearby Cecil County Public Library.
