Libraries

Sacramento Country Day students are fortunate to have, in the words of the prominent children’s author Mem Fox, “The constant good fortune of hearing great literature beautifully delivered into the ear and from there into the heart and from the heart into the bones.”

There are two libraries on campus for the use of students and faculty. The Winters Library is for students Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade, and the Matthews Library serves Middle and High School students.
