Mission Statement
Our mission in the Library Media Center is to have a variety of resources available for students to access information. Those resources include online databases, educational websites, a diverse selection of books, and the latest technology. We also provide professional resources to support the
school's academic goals and collaborate with our educators as an extension of the classroom. Our desire is to promote lifelong learning and a love for reading.

These cameras can be reserved by contacting the library media specialist. Teachers may checkout all cameras at once, if needed. Please keep the checkout period to a maximum of one week.
