Your House Librarian

A Note from Bard's Stevenson Library Staff
Stevenson Library has partnered with the Bard Houses to provide a liaison librarian to each of the four Houses. The House librarians will be available to students who have questions about research, citing sources, and using library resources and services. They will hold office hours for drop-in questions—often with cookies—and partner with House faculty on other programs throughout the year.
