School Library Mission & Vision
School Library Mission & Vision
The Toby Johnson Middle School library strives to maintain an inclusive environment that fosters learning, opportunities, growth, and success for all patrons in our library.
We strive to provide resources and materials needed for success of our students and staff, both for academic needs and personal endeavors.
We aim to provide programs and opportunities for literacy enrichment, SEL growth, and more.
Inquiry is encouraged and can be fulfilled by developing information literacy skills. Multimedia formats, both print and non-print materials, including digital resources are available for patrons. Our goal is to help students and staff learn how to access materials, utilize them effectively as they analyze the resource, and appropriately credit the materials referenced.

Our library offers many books and special materials to enhance classroom learning, plus activities and services similar to those in other public library branches: children's story time, programs for school age children and teens, as well as adult programs and workshops scheduled at various times throughout the year. The library has computers for public use, student use, and the ability to reserve computers by Toby Johnson and Franklin classes during school hours.
Library Card
Library Card
Students are provided a student account with Sacramento Public Library and have access to this account as long as they remain a student at TJMS. This login differs from their EGUSD login, and permits students to check out books, access library resources and databases, in addition to utilizing the computers in the library. If you are having difficulties logging in, please stop by the Library Information Desk, school counter, or reach out to the school librarian.
