| The mission of the library media center is to facilitate the
education of students for lifelong learning. In this information
rich world, it is essential that all students and adults become
effective users of information.
The library media center can accommodate up to seventy students
at one time, and is open from 7:00 to 2:45. All students are welcome,
with passes being required during the hours that classes are in
session (7:30 - 2:15).
The media collection is comprised of over 20,600 titles, including
3,300 reference titles, 65 periodical titles, and over 1,250 audiovisual
titles. Learning experiences are planned and provided cooperatively
by the library staff and teachers to most effectively utilize these
resources.
The subscription based electronic resources that are available
provide students with reliable Internet based information. Log-in
information
and passwords, which are necessary to use these resources from
home, are available in the library media center, or from classroom
teachers.
