The Galloway Library

Welcome to the Galloway Library, a hub of activity, exploration, scholarship, and discovery. We offer books and digital resources for all ages, are a springboard for research and inquiry, and sponsor special events to celebrate reading. Take a look at what we do by visiting the Early Learning Hub and the Middle and Upper Learning sites linked to the images below.

Our Mission

The Galloway Library is a welcoming, innovative library that inspires imagination, cultivates connections, and celebrates learning.

Our Vision

In addition to providing connections to a wide array of print and digital resources for faculty and students, The Galloway Library sponsors a variety of activities and events. Students at all levels can join book clubs. Early Learners participate in the Galloway Community Reading Bowl. Middle Learning students stay up for an annual Late Night Read In, and Upper Learning students hold regular poetry readings. The library also sponsors visits by children's and young adult authors. Some authors who have visited are Jacqueline Woodson, Robert Hoge, Marie Lu, Margaret Peterson Haddix, Adam Gidwitz, Ridley Pearson, Laurie Halse Anderson, Gene Luen Yang, Jackson Pearce, Matt Laney, Shanda McCloskey, Shannon Messenger, and Andrew Smith.
