The Lambert E. Broad Library PDF Print E-mail

The Lambert E. Broad Library is located in the school and helps MMI students get in the habit of performing collegiate level research.

Welcome to the MMI Preparatory School's resource center for information! Its aim is to support the MMI philosophy and curriculum by providing primary resource materials at the library site as well as provide access to resources from libraries throughout the region, Pennsylvania, and the world. The physical library space in the Century II building offers a place for students and faculty to study and do library research. Librarians are on staff to assist with research and to help answer questions.
