Library (automated)
The school library is a fully automated facility staffed by a professional librarian who instructs students in the use of the library and in research skills. There are three computers connected to the Internet for students to use. Students in Grades Kindergarten through Eight are able to check out books for research or reading for pleasure. The role of the library is to support and enhance the work of the classroom experience.
The school library possesses periodicals, biographies, picture books, reference materials, works of fiction and non-fiction books. Each year the school librarian purchases 500 – 600 new volumes to update the current library inventory.
The librarian maintains a video collection for use by teachers in various subject areas.

Students have a work folder on the network, and they may access their work from any student computer in the building. Grades 2-6 have an assigned computer class each week where they are taught computer skills. Younger elementary students are introduced to the coputer lab during the school year. Middle school students use the computer lab with their teachers in the context of their regular classes.
