The Copley Library


The James S. Copley Library at Eaglebrook School was a gift of Mr. James S. Copley, publisher and Eaglebrook parent. It is centrally located in the Learning Center and has received awards for its open, welcoming architecture with two window walls and ample space for quiet reading and studying.      

The library is open throughout the academic day, during afternoon and evening study halls, and at designated times during the weekend. The Copley Library has been extremely well-supported by the school and has exceptional resources for a middle school library, including:

  • Over 17,000 books (fiction, non-fiction, Reference, foreign language).
  • Over 500 audio books (on cassette and CD).
  • Approximately one hundred magazine subscriptions and five newspaper subscriptions.
  • Eight computer workstations available for students to search the online card catalog, do word processing, search the Internet, and utilize the online databases for research assignments.
  • Online databases include Magazine Article Summaries (full text articles from magazines); Grolier’s Multimedia Encyclopedia with additional science and U.S. History information; Social Issues Resource Series (SIRS) with articles in various subject areas, Granger’s Index to Poetry, and Infotrac databases in the areas of health, biography, history, literature, and science with full text articles.
  • Laser printers and a copier are available for student use.  


What do boys in Middle School read?
The answer is of course, plenty of different books, magazines, graphic novels, and whatever holds their interest. To help a little, the Staff of Eaglebrook's Copley Library has put together a list of book recommendations tailored to boys in middle school.

See the list of recommendations here.
The Library Wish List
Throughout the day at Country Fair and Winter Carnival, the Copley Library at Eaglebrook School sponsors a Book Fair with books available for purchase.  Part of the proceeds supports the library and the scholarship fund. A "Wish List" table displays books that faculty would like to have in the library collection. A calligraphy plaque is placed in each book, with the donor's choice of wording, usually honoring the family's student(s), a faculty member, or other designee.
