MGS LIBRARY
Welcome to the MGS Library!!!
During this school year MGS students will check out thousands of library books. Hopefully some of those books will be read.
I encourage students to check out a book every time they come to the library, however they may bring a book from home or the classroom to read while in the library.
In order to encourage the proper care of materials and appropriate behavior in the Library, please read and remind your students about their responsibilities in the Library. You can find these practices on the Rules and Procedures Page.
A catalog listing of all the books at MGS can be found at this link: https://mgs.follettdestiny.com/
