{library} Library Media Center

The mission of the Library Media Center is to create a warm and welcoming space for all students and teachers. We believe that having an up-to-date collection and technology will create lifelong library users and readers. We encourage and recommend books to read that are appropriate for pre-teens and teenagers. We promote the ethical use of information by teaching citation skills, web site evaluation, and plagiarism awareness.
