We are a 21st Century School Library!
Thanks to everyone who helps us reach this goal every day!
The Douglas High School Library was recently awarded the 21st Century Library Award at the exemplary level from the South Dakota State Library. We know that we can have all the crazy ideas in the world, and we have plenty of them. But this award wouldn't be possible without the support of our students, staff, administrators and school board.

We Are Flipping Over Filtering!
    In some schools across America students are unable to access legitimate, educational websites due to site filtering. The library staff and library science students have been bringing awareness to censorship and the freedom to information this week, Banned Books Week, and September 27th, Banned Websites Awareness Day. http://www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/bwad

Flipping Over Filtering


We have a 3Doodler in the Library!

Douglas School District Department of Library Services Mission Statement

    It is the mission of the Douglas School District Libraries to prepare patrons to be active readers and proficient users of information. We accomplish this by:
  • Collaborating with staff to empower students with the knowledge to access, use, and evaluate materials for educational and personal uses
  • Providing virtual and physical access to materials in various formats
  • Providing an environment that is appealing, fosters an enjoyment of reading, and is conducive to learning
  • Providing access to a highly qualified library media specialist for program development and instruction, materials selection, and library management
Our Belief Statement

    We are guided by particular beliefs that demonstrate the ways an exemplary school library will provide for its community. We support the American Library Association's positions on intellectual freedom to read, and the right to free access to information. In the interest of intellectual freedom, we affirm the tenets of The American Library Association's "Library Bill of Rights," with particular interest in the interpretation "Access to Resources and Services in the School Library Media Program." We maintain the viewpoint of the "Role of the School Library Program," a position statement of the American Association of School Librarians. We recognize ideals of superiority in regards to the library program, the place, and the professional.
