Welcome

The goals of our Library Media Program are to enable students to:

  • Access information through learning activities that are integrated into the curriculum and assist students in becoming information literate;
  • Select, retrieve, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, create, and communicate information in all formats and in all content areas of the curriculum;
  • Use a range of equipment for accessing local and remote information in any format from within and beyond the library media center and the school through electronic networks; and
  • Pursue areas of personal interests through reading and accessing information, thereby becoming lifelong learners and effective, responsible citizens in a democracy.

Fines and Fees

  • No fines will be charged; however, a student will not be allowed to check out until the book(s) are returned or the replacement cost is paid.
  • Overdue notices will be provided quarterly through the homeroom teachers.
