Library
The school Library is located in Sims Hall in a spacious classroom that
was previously a drafting lab. The collection includes a sizable sampling
from fiction, nonfiction, biography and reference materials. Periodical
subscriptions include two daily newspapers and 18 magazines. There are 26
PC workstations available for students completing homework assignments,
doing Internet research, and working on classroom projects. Teachers can sign up online to avail themselves of Library/Computer Lab time.
The library staff assists teachers with developing resource-based lesson
plans and teaching information literacy skills, where students learn to
discern authoritative, fact-based resources from opinion and persuasion
sources.
While Robins-Loats hall awaits its much-anticipated restoration, the
library’s complete collection is archived on site and we will be
working toward having increasing access to it as needed during the school
year.
