The media center will be open this year from 6:45 am - 2:45 pm most days. Students may use the media center before and after school without a pass and during their lunch (after eating) with a pass. Students may also visit the media center with a class. Closings due to scheduling conflicts will be posted. But our online resources are always available! Click on the Encyclopedia and Databases tab here or on the left hand Navigation bar.

Stop by today and see the beautiful new space or click here for some pictures.

While you're in the media center, be on the look out for some new additions! Find a book with a QR code and scan it (using your smartphone or iPod touch) for some trivia, prizes, or information. Check out the digital frame for book suggestions and additional resources. Or borrow the Live Scribe smart pen to listen to or record your own book talks.
