Making the Library a Safe Space During COVID
Welcome back! You'll notice things look a little different in the secondary library these days. As part of our school-wide effort to make our campus as safe as possible, we've instituted COVID precautions including social distancing for our seating, sterilization for our check in/check out of books, and regular disinfecting of surfaces such as door handles, table tops, etc. Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you in the library!
Our Mission:
Provide access to a diverse collection of materials in multiple formats to support both pleasure reading and classroom learning. In collaboration with classroom teachers, teach information literacy skills so students become effective researchers who analyze information with a critical eye and use that information effectively and ethically to answer complex research questions.
