The library supports the educational program and the students by developing research skills including how to best utilize library materials and find high-quality information. Students learn valuable research tools using both traditional book sources and a variety of technology sources for cross-curricular projects. Additionally, the library helps students fall in love with reading by helping students find exciting recreational reading.

Through the Accelerated Reader program, students are presented with developmentally appropriate book recommendations to help students find their next favorite book and offering enticing rewards.

Students have access to Chromebooks and learn the Google Suite of Apps, including Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Chromebooks are a tool used to support classroom instruction.
