OUR COLLECTION

We have approximately 9,000 items.  Students may check out printed materials (books and magazines).  Teachers and faculty have access to printed and non-printed materials (videos, filmstrips, dvds, laser disks etc.)

AUTOMATION

Five computer terminals run the on-line catalog to help our students and faculty find books and other resources.  Circulation of books (borrowing, renewing and returning) is also computerized.

WEEKLY LIBRARY VISITS

Each week when your child visits the Library they participate in a variety of activities.  An Information Literacy Skill Activity is included in every Library visit.  A reading selection or other information is presented to the class and, periodically, students have the opportunity to share information about a favorite book or books they have recently read.   Along with providing skill instruction and opportunities to appreciate a variety of literature, we try to help students develop positive attitudes about the Library Media Center by providing a welcoming place and an interesting program.  We also work to develop the attitude that the Library, with its books and other resources, belongs to everyone at the school - the students and the teachers, not just the Library Staff.  Returning books "on time" so that others may also have an opportunity to use them is very important.

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
