Mr. Panepinto- AP ELA, ENL, Library
The MVB HS Library is open to all students during their lunch periods, or with special permission from your teacher during a class, as well Mon and Tues after school.
*Please note that Covid-19 may affect Library Hours. You MUST wear a mask in the library at all times, and practice social distancing. Thank you.
Ms. Calandro (Ms. C) is your School Library Media Specialist and she is happy to help you with anything from school work, to college and/or career choices, to finding a great read, or if you need some assistance and don't know where to turn.
The MVB library is the most peaceful place in our lively building, and students appreciate the calming atmosphere. It's a place to de-stress, play a board game with friends, do homework, read, draw, etc.
We also have our own computer room.
There are some policies that students must follow so that the library can remain a serene place. Please be willing to follow those policies. The most important policy is that you must have lunch the period you come to the library, and you must have your ID card. And due to Covid, you must wear a mask at all times. If you need a mask break, see Ms. C.
We are located on the 2nd floor, in room 228, across from the 2nd floor auditorium doors. Hope to see you there!
