The joy of reading and the knowledge of how to use library resources, both print and non-print, are lifelong skills that students should acquire or enhance while at Lovett. To that end, the library is open and available to students at any time throughout the school day. Students may check out two books at a time for a one week period. Subject area projects will bring students into the library for reference work.

Reading Renaissance is a nationally known reading motivation program available to Lovett students. Encouraging reading, improving reading skills, and improving performance in all subjects are by-products of successful use of the program. Participation is encouraged but not required.
