Student Resources ATM An automated teller machine, located in the entrance to Forbes Dining Hall, is available for students, faculty, staff and visitors. Bookstore The bookstore is located in the lower level of Warren Hall. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with extended hours during the September opening of School. The bookstore stocks all required textbooks (new, used, and some rental) as well as a variety of school supplies, health and beauty aids, general reading and study guides, Milton clothing, gift items and sundries. The bookstore allows students the ability to charge materials purchased in the bookstore to their Incidental Account (IA), giving students the opportunity to purchase books and supplies without the need to carry cash. A parent or guardian wishing to prohibit or set limits on IA charges may contact the bookstore directly at 617-898-2110. Parents may view IA purchases made in the bookstore by logging in to the myMilton Web site and selecting the “bookstore” option. The bookstore also accepts cash, checks, and debit or credit cards as forms of payment. The bookstore provides a textbook buyback program at the end of the academic year through which students may sell their unwanted textbooks back to the store and receive a credit on their IA account. Computers The Academic Computer Center, located on the third floor of the Schwarz Student Center, is home to three computer labs. The Academic Computer Center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; students and teachers use the Center for formal coursework, writing and casual use. A limited number of computers and printers are located in house common rooms. The Schwarz Student Center is equipped with public kiosks that can be used to access First Class and the Internet. Academy Technology Services (ATS), located in the lower level of Warren Hall, provides all students with assistance connecting to the School’s network and will perform minor or routine computer repairs on boarding student computers for a fee.

The collection includes approximately 46,000 books available in open stacks and more than 150 periodicals and newspapers. Further resources include a rich collection of subscription databases and carefully selected Internet resources available through the library Web page, which is accessible on and off campus. Students learn research skills through course assignments. Librarians are available to assist from 8:20 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the school week. In addition to offering a comfortable environment for study, research and quiet reading, the library provides computers, microform machines and copiers. The library does not charge fines for overdue books; however, borrowers must pay for lost books.
