Mrs. Sandwith and Mrs. Bruce were in the northeast visiting several private school and college libraries. The previous post was at Hopkins School - the 5th oldest private school in the U.S. It was founded in 1660 and settled in this location overlooking the town of New Haven, CT. in 1926. We were fortunate to tour the renovated library prior to the grand re-opening on March 31st.

Mrs. Sandwith was holding a snowball-- part of her quest during this trip was to find snow.

We had a great time talking to several librarians about their best practices which in turn will help the Ensworth librarians continue to offer their best to this community. We also met with several librarians from Yale and Vassar to discuss research skills they wish incoming freshmen would have. This visit has helped us set our goals to assist Ensworth students with building a "research tool kit" from Pre-1 through the 12th grade. We were able to confirm some of our best practices and also look at issues from the college level view so we can improve on certain skills and continue to build.
