The Rock School partners with community libraries to provide students with opportunities to access high quality resources and librarian services.
Trips for juniors are scheduled yearly to give them an introduction to the library. Teachers may schedule additional trips to a library that may be more useful for students in their subject area at any time.
Students are introduced to the libraries with initial trips planned by the EE Coordinator & DP coordinator for fall and spring of junior year. These trips orient students to what is available at the physical library and how to access the digital materials.
September - Alachua County Library (Tower Road or Downtown Branch)
October - UF Library West/Marston Science Library
If you are interested in taking students to conduct research or learn more about the resources available at a particular library, contact a librarian at your place of interest to arrange a time and then follow the standard protocol for requesting a field trip.
