About the Library

The library is open and available to ALL teachers, scheduled or not.
The library is not just a place to come to check out books……
It is a teacher resource area ---videos, dvds, audio books, > audio players, and boxed sets of books are available.
The library supports Common Core curriculum.
It is for research. Books and computers can be used inhouse for classes to practice taking notes, searching valid sources, and doing research projects ---Books can be put "on reserve" for specific projects if multiple classes are doing the same project. This method ensures that more students can access the reference materials they need.
