Library

The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.

Albert Einstein

The Dennis A. Collins library is at the heart of San Francisco University High School’s middle campus. It is a glorious light-filled space where students are welcome to work and hang out quietly during their free periods and before and after school.

In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us to swim.”

Linton Weeks

Students meet regularly in the library for lessons on research for History, Science, Music and the Arts, and for time to work on their assignments and projects. The librarians teach research topics from primary sources to writing citations and have created an extensive collection of Libguides to support these lessons.

Our extensive collection is dynamic responding to curricular needs, as well as to student and faculty interests. Covering a wide range of topics, we have books for academic support and for pleasure reading. Beyond these traditional resources, our students have access to thousands of online periodicals, reference works, and databases through our network of online subscriptions

Meet the librarians

As librarians, we aim to be friendly faces and our objectives are to provide students with all the resources they need to become confident and competent researchers and to support them in creating lifetime reading habits.

We welcome all and any questions – please come in and ask!
