Library

Expand your world through research at Hyde Library.

Mary Weymouth Hyde Library is a welcoming space that has been intentionally designed to allow research and creativity to come together. It offers a bright, modern, comfortable environment with a wide range of amenities and spaces. Students and staff come to the library to meet, study, design, research, create, and read. It is a dynamic community space, before, during, and after school hours.  

Hyde Library has moved beyond only offering books and magazines. Thornton Academy's technology department is located within the library, offering students and staff the opportunity to do research both in traditional print media and online. Some of our most exciting offerings include:

  • meeting spaces to encourage collaboration and presentation 
  • high-tech computers featuring advanced software 
  • large format and vivid color printing 
  • hundreds of new books every year 
  • warm and welcoming staff members to support your academic and personal interest needs  
  • faculty integration space
