    The Library
    Use the "Visit Our Library" link on the right. You can use the search bar to explore the entire collection of both physical and digital media. Your username is the same as your Harbor login and your password is your student ID.
     
    Digital books may be checked out on your iPad at any time and are automatically returned to the collection after two weeks. Physical books can be found in display cases in the Student Lounge and the Genesis Commons, as well as shelves located in the Genesis wing of the building. If you want to check out a physical book, you have to see a librarian first. When you return a library book, please be sure to give it directly to a librarian or return it to one of the Return Boxes located in the Genesis wing.

    Remember! The physical books belong to Xaverian’s collection. It’s important to treat the books with care; do not write in them and avoid damaging them. Lost or damaged books may incur a fine equal to the cost of the book. Overdue books will incur a $1 fine every day up to a $30 fine, at which point, the book will be considered lost.

    Research
    Our digital databases overview (see right) explains our current research options and the procedure for accessing books in our collection. In addition to these research affiliations, we also provided a curated list of additional resources. These include, YouTube and TikTok channels, a Meta Quest 2 Virtual Reality headset, and useful apps for school work.
