Research Center
Because our students are passionate researchers, the facility that functions as our library is known as the Research Center, emphasizing its important role within Lake Country School.

We strongly encourage every student to have a local library card in order to access digital databases. For the Hennepin County Library card application, click here.
The Research Center is a key component in our commitment to anti-bias anti-racist (ABAR) pedagogy. We strive to provide resources that, in the words of Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, are "windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors" for children to see themselves and others.
