 | Princeton Day School features three libraries: The Wilson Family Library in Upper School, the May Margaret Fine Library in Middle School and the Lambert Library in Lower School.
Each library provides a focus for study, research and personal reading. Holdings include more than 60,000 books and a broad selection of resources in multiple formats to support and enrich the curriculum.
Our libraries support Princeton Day School's commitment to encourage students to view learning as cooperative and ongoing and to ensure that all members of the community are accomplished users of ideas and information. Each library serves as the information center for its division, providing periodicals, ebooks and online access to Internet services and specialized databases.
Our librarians are reading advisors, information specialists, and library administrators. Each librarian has professional training in curricular consulting and information literacy teaching, enabling them to serve as partners with teachers to extend the classroom experience.
Library holdings are combined in an online catalog (Destiny) available on the library computers and via the links on this page. |

| | Multimedia Copyright Guidelines When a multimedia project is created, material in many different formats is combined into a new presentation. Digitizing information whether it be image or text changes the original into what is called a derivative work. Such adaptation is reserved by law to be the right of the copyright holder. Editing or excerpting clips from videos to insert into other videos is also the creation of a new work and the guidelines for use of this material are clearly defined. All 'borrowing' of copyrighted material needs to be acknowledged in the opening screen with a notice indicating that the 'work contains copyrighted materials which have been used under the fair use exemption of the U.S. Copyright Law.' The following rules apply:
- Students may use copyrighted material if quantity limits are observed (see below).
- Students may use copyrighted material if it supports direct instruction, not entertainment.
- Specific limits are established for the amount of material that can be used in multimedia presentations, based on the original medium.
- Note to teachers: Projects created by students may be shown within the class only. Fair use of copyrighted materials does not cover public performance. This includes showing by the teacher as an example of such work.
Quantity limits:
- Motion Media: (film, video, television): Up to 10 percent or three minutes, whichever is less, of an individual program.
- Text:(prose, poetry, drama): Up to 10 percent or 1000 words, whichever is less.
- Music, lyrics and music video: Up to 10 percent, but not more than 30 seconds from a single work. (This includes the use of such material as background music)
- Illustrations, cartoons and photographs: No more than five images from a single artist or photographer can be used. If taken from a single collective work, no more than 10 percent or 15 images can be used.
