Welcome to our new Library/Media Center!


We are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 - 15:00. The library environment is conducive to learning, allowing students to read, research and study.  All materials may be accessed using our On-line Public Access Catalog (Destiny) throughout the school and at home.   In addition to four computers, wireless internet access and a ceiling-mounted projector, students and teachers are now able to use the library/media center as an extension of the classroom during the day.

Need help with your homework/classroom assignments? Our librarians are here to help you find resources. The library collection is divided into two sections:  Elementary and Secondary. Library materials may be checked out as follows:

  • Elementary:  up to three books over a two week period
  • Secondary:   up to five books over a two week period.

Parents and students are welcome to use the library after hours.
