About the Library
Safe Space
The library media center is a safe and welcoming space that celebrates our students' individuality and honors their lived experiences. It is a place where students can read, explore, discover, and connect with stories and information that resonate with their individual journeys and expose them to the world beyond.
Community
The library media center is also a space for gathering and community. It is a place where students can play games, eat lunch, and share stories. It is a space for finding commonality and building relationships.
Collection
The library collection is for leisure reading, exploration of different topics of interest, and support of the curriculum. It offers a curated selection of materials influenced by student interest surveys, positive professional reviews, and student and staff requests.
Learning
The library media center reflects Dr. David Carr’s belief in the “ unspoken link between curiosity and courage…”. The journey of learning and reading involves taking risks, and the library media center is a space where students can embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and grow both personally and academically. It is a hub of creativity, inspiration, and intellectual growth.
