Mission
The mission of the library is to empower students to achieve at their highest levels and to become lifelong readers and learners. Library Media Specialists work with students individually to help them with research, projects, and technology use. As teachers, Library Media Specialists collaborate with other teachers to plan and teach information literacy lessons to classes to help students with research and other assignments.
Purpose
Our most essential goal reflects our larger mission: to maximize student access to library resources for academic achievement and literature appreciation. Library access procedures provide opportunities for students to come to the library for:
Individual research using print materials and databases
Project assistance and instruction
Reinforcement of prior or missed whole class lessons
Books and periodicals for leisure reading
Printing and project supplies
Assistance with Google Apps and other technological tools
Books and other materials: may be borrowed for 30 days and can be renewed if no one is waiting for them. Reference books may be checked out overnight. Students are responsible for materials borrowed or used in the library. Students are charged for replacement costs for items lost or damaged beyond repair.
E-Books/audiobooks: may be borrowed for 21 days and can be renewed if no one else is waiting for them. There is a limit of 3 e-books/audiobooks at a time.
