The purpose of the library is to support students in their academic pursuits and to foster reading as an intellectual activity and personal pleasure. The library is staffed with a half-time librarian and half-time assistant. The library is used by classes, groups and individuals. Students who are not with a classroom teacher should have a pass from a teacher for library use. The library may be used before school, brunch, lunch, after school and during a free period. All students must have an "Acceptable Use Policy" form on file with the school to use school computers for any purpose. Rules and procedures are clearly stated and student use may be restricted if procedures are not followed.

TEEN READ WEEK
October is when YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) celebrates TEEN READ WEEK. This year's theme is Picture It @ Your Library which encourages teens to seek out creative books and imagine the world through literature.
