Library
Our library is a special place where you can always ask a question. If we do not know the answer immediately, we will do our best to try to find it for you.
Miss Schuld, Librarian and grade eight Writing Skills instructor, and Mrs. Meyers, Library Aide, can show you a world of materials to help you in your search. We have books, magazines, reference materials and computers for you to use.
Computers with Internet access may only be used for school related work and projects. No games or random Internet surfing will be permitted. Students must secure a pass from Miss Finnegan in order to use the library computers during ninth period; they can obtain one during the morning homeroom period.
The following is a list of some of our favorite web sites. If you like them as much as we do, bookmark them on your home computer. We hope you enjoy them! See you soon in the library!
