By combining our print resources with new technologies, we strive to partner with students, staff, and parents as we read for pleasure and knowledge, connect to our world through research and inquiry, and collaborate to solve problems and empower students.

Students are welcome to visit us throughout the school day. Students are encouraged to use LC services and materials with their classes and teachers. Students may also use the LC during their classes provided that they have a pass from their teacher with a definitive assignment.
Please show your pass to Ms. Mayo, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Van Dyk, or a study hall teacher when visiting the LC.
