Please check our library's website periodically for news and updates.  We are excited to be a "mobile" library, meaning we have the capability to move about the library and interact with students while tackling the task of checking books in and out via a handheld device.  We love technology and are continuously looking for ways to better our library and computer lab.  We are proud of the technology currently accessible to our students and staff  and look forward to the continuous improvement we have planned for the future.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments you might have concerning the library.

 Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.”
