The Library's Mission

The Educational Technology and Library Department's mission is to promote critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and information literacy through the use of analog and digital texts and technology used by students and teachers in blended learning and virtual environments.

Borrowing Policy

Students are encouraged to borrow books from the library for class work or for personal enjoyment. We receive new and exciting titles each month!

Students may check out up to three books at a time. The borrowing period is three weeks. Books must be returned or renewed on or before the due date. Students will not be charged for overdue materials but will be expected to pay for lost or damaged materials. Extremely overdue books will result in notices attached to reports cards.
