Library

The mission of the Springfield High School Library / Media Center program (Library) is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The Library actively supports the school curriculum and interests in reading with print and online resources.

Students can access reliable magazines, newspapers, reference or scholarly articles as well as videos at school or home with our research and media databases. Passwords and access instructions for Gale Research (“Vermont Online”), JSTOR, Elsevier, Science Magazine, Science Direct, and Sora (Vermont’s eBook and audiobook service) can be obtained in the Library.

Students can check out two books at a time unless special permission is granted by the library staff. Students with overdue or lost books may not check out additional books until their books are returned or paid for. Seniors must clear their accounts in the Library in order to receive their cap and gown at graduation.

The SHS Library is a great place to study, research, or read quietly.  Students can work quietly in small groups, but they will be asked to return to their classroom if they do not stay on task. Students assigned to the library during an empty block must use the time as a silent study or silent reading time. Failure to do so will result in being sent to the office for disciplinary action. When students enter the Library, they must present a pass (or e-hall pass) from a classroom teacher specifying the work to be completed.
