Middle School Library
The mission of the Middle School Library is to provide a wide range of resources and service to the school community. Resources are selected to represent diverse viewpoints, authors, reading preferences and interest levels. Members of the library staff work closely with students to teach information literacy and to encourage the development of independent research skills. To make this meaningful, the librarians collaborate with faculty in order to integrate their instruction with class assignments.

The library uses TigerGuides (LibGuides) to make resources available on and off campus. The various guides can be for an individual assignment, a grade wide research project, or for access to our extensive databases and ebook collections.
