The Colchester High School Library and its Librarians strive to create an inviting, dynamic, and safe space that inspires and honors curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and inclusion. We support and recognize reading as the foundation for building understanding and knowledge. We work to build and maintain a print and digital collection of resources which exemplifies the principles of equity, celebrates diversity of thought and experience, supports lifelong learning, and encourages students to make connections through timely and up-to-date research and leisure reading materials.
