Library Resources

  • We have access to many resources in the library.  Some of these resources can be accessed in the physical library and some can be accessed virtually. 

    There are approximately 12,000 titles in the library that are useful in supporting the curriculum of the high school. This wide variety of titles consists of fiction, nonfiction, biographies, reference materials, books on CD, and magazines. Books are on  loan for a period of three weeks, but can be renewed if necessary.

    Our library catalog can be accessed online so you can check to see if we have a book that you are looking for on the shelf.  Here is a link to our online library catalog:

    In addition, reference materials may also be checked out for a period of 3 days.

    We have 10 different magazine titles that may be checked out for 1 week.

    WONDERFUL RESOURCE--The Virtual Reference Collection of Databases:

    Students and teachers can gain access to approximately 45 different subscription databases.  These resources have previously been checked for accuracy and many have also appeared in print throughout the world.  There are thousands of periodical articles, reference books, ebooks and images available in the VRC.    These are all very helpful in meeting the new Common Core Standards.  Great resources available to you 24/7 from any device where you can access the Internet.

    Please see Mrs. Lynch for user name and passwords to access the School Library Systems Virtual Reference Collection. 


    Also don't forget about our public libraries--these are also full of terrific resources that can assist you!
