Mission
The Franklin High Library's mission is to support students and faculty by providing a collection of materials to implement and enrich the Franklin High School curriculum and to help ensure students are effective finders, users, and ethical producers of ideas and information. The Library also strives to promote reading for pleasure and aims to fully support the Franklin High School Expectations for Student Learning.
The Library's physical collection consists of print resources. The Library also has an extensive collection of DVDs, for teaching and learning, as well as physical audiobooks. The Library provides students with online access to databases and e-books. The physical Library collection can be accessed through the Destiny catalog. The link is found on the Library webpage.
Policies
The Library is primarily a place for teaching and learning. These policies and procedures help to maintain an atmosphere conducive to study and to optimize class visit time for research projects.
Class visits
Teachers should sign-up in advance to bring classes into the library. Teachers can check availability on the Library Calendar
A planning session with the librarian is highly recommended for research project visits, in order to determine your instructional and resource needs.
If plans change, teachers are asked to please notify the library to remove their name from the schedule, thus allowing another class to use the area.
Student Visits
Students are welcome to stop by the library during the school day for Chromebook help and/or to print. Library passes can be obtained from academic teachers when the teacher has assigned work that requires the use of the library. Students will need to present said pass to library staff and sign in.
Please use the red signout book if you need to use the restroom.
