Fostering discovery and a love of reading

Trinity boasts a beautiful, spacious library ideal for independent and collaborative study.

In harmony with the Trinity High School mission to challenge young women to pursue faith, truth, and knowledge, the Library supports both students and faculty within the curriculum in an atmosphere that encourages thinking and questioning. The Library strives to foster the development of an intellectual curiosity that leads to lifelong learning.
The Library offers students a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction books for checkout in both print and digital formats. To support students academically, Trinity invests in the highest quality databases for student research needs. 

The Library includes a classroom area with a projector and presentation podium. Faculty and students can reserve this area for presentations, film viewing or meetings. Computers with printing capability are available in the Library for student use. Students may also check out a variety of tech items such as Chromebooks, chargers, calculators and headphones.
