Welcome to your Award Winning Library!

School libraries are extensions of the classroom.  Rich with print and electronic resources and the technologies necessary to view, hear, and use them, the school library allows students to delve deeper into classroom subjects and topics of personal interest.  

School librarians as information specialists and program administrators select and provide access to library resources, Web tools and sites, and communication technologies that match student needs, reading levels, and curricular topics.  As teachers and instructional partners, school librarians teach students how to search, use and document resources; how to organize, present, and share information using technologies; and how to maintain personal safety on the Internet and ethically observe intellectual property rights (AASL, School Library Programs Improve Student Learning: Teachers).
