Food for Thought Book Groups
Create your own book group to read a book of your choosing. Gather a group of friends and a teacher who are all interested in reading the same book. You will each get a copy of the book to keep and enjoy a meal at Spiral Press with your group and teacher to discuss the book. See Mrs. Putney for details.
You all have an account/ card in the library.
Come on by to check out books! If we don’t have the book you are looking for, we will borrow it from another library for you. As a Burr and Burton student you are also eligible for a Manchester Community Library (MCL) card. Just bring your school ID to MCL to apply for your card.

Research Help
We have added the New York Times Historical Database to our collection. You can search by keyword, date, type of entry (cover article, advertisement, etc.) This and all databases should automatically connect while on campus. Passwords are needed for off-campus use. These passwords can be found in the student and faculty resources in OnCampus and here. Links to all databases can be found on the library webpage or library catalog homepage. Mrs. Putney and Mrs. Gardner are available to assist with research projects.
