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.

Happy Valentine’s Day! If you couldn’t tell from our posts up until now, we love reading and all things books♥️ We thought it might be fun to share some staffulty favorite books–some they loved as kids, some are all-time favorites, and some are just things they’ve enjoyed lately.
I come from a road trip family. I suppose, with five kids to keep track of, my parents worried they’d accidentally create a real-life rendition of Home Alone if we flew.

I recently read the book Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa, which takes place in Jimbōchō Book Town in Tokyo. That is not the name of a book shop; that is the name of a region of the city that contains hundreds of bookstores. And it’s a real place. Wait, what?! How did I not know about this? Time to plan an adventure!
