Welcome to the Barbara Lawrence
Alfond Library
The Barbara Lawrence Alfond Library, opened in the Spring of 1997, serves the research needs of the students of the Holderness School. The library features a main reading room, a periodicals room, two computer labs, three seminar rooms, a tower room for quiet study, a lounge, and offices for the professional staff.
Resources include an online catalog, approximately 12,000 volumes, subscriptions to 75 periodicals on paper, microfilm, and microfiche, and several CD-ROM and online databases. Through interlibrary loan, students have access to materials from college libraries, including those in the University of New Hampshire system. Using the 30+ computers in the library's Macintosh and PC computer labs, students may connect to the School's computer network, Holdernet, which provides email service and access to the World Wide Web. The Library is open from 7:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. during the school year.
