Flanagan-Cornell High School Library has over 5,000 books, subscribes to over thirty magazines, and three newspapers, and is supplemented by two databases.  Most of the library's collection is available to view on the Internet since the library's circulation system is part of the regional database system Resource Sharing Alliance.  As a member of the Alliance Library System, the library has access to over 2.2 million items from other member libraries through interlibrary loans (holds).  Computers are networked, Internet accessible, and available for research and assignments.

The following links will take you to pages/links with specific sources.  For more help, see Mrs. Hassinger, Librarian.
