The atmosphere in the high school library is one of study and research. The library extends the boundaries of the classroom by providing materials for class research and topics of interest to students and faculty. The library features a collection of books, databases, online periodicals, DVD's, streaming audio and video, as well as audio CD's. Services include inter library loan, group instruction, individual instruction, reference assistance, collection use, computer searches of indexes and/or full text databases, the Internet as well as the World Wide Web.
The function of the Library staff is to provide personal assistance to students. The library is fully automated. All computers have access to the online public access catalog and can search by title, author or subject.
