Library

To contemplate and to give to others the fruits of contemplation is one of the mottos of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, the Order that founded and operates Overbrook Catholic School. The heart of that motto is found in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered at OCS each week and many of our students and teachers can be found living out that motto in our treasured library. 

A spacious, split-level brick library holds 10,000 volumes and is beloved at Overbrook Catholic School. Our youngest Eagles gather with Mrs. Crouch, OCS Librarian, beginning in preschool, and our fifth- and sixth-grade Eagles can be found researching and reading throughout the year. Students begin checking out books in kindergarten. The mission of the Overbrook Catholic School library is to connect with students as individuals by providing resources and instruction for differentiated learning styles and ultimately facilitating self-motivated, life-long learning, as well as providing a peaceful area to read, write, and reflect.

The Overbrook Catholic School library media center supports and enriches the curriculum with a collection of materials that meets the needs of the students and faculty it serves. Additionally, we host an annual book fair and often host parents and family members when students present reports and presentations in the lower library.
