Library Media Center

Welcome to the library media center page! We have amazing books and online resources for you. Our library has two main sections: fiction and no fiction. In the non-fiction area, you will find information that is based on fact. In the library fiction area, you will find literature that is made from imagination. Besides those two major sections, we have a Spanish section area, short stories and professional books for our educators on campus.

We also have a game area for our students and staff, where we have board games, puzzles and golf putting mat to practice golf!

All students have the right to come to thee LMC before first period and during their lunch time with a pass are issued to students who request it at the beginning of the school year. Please consider that we have a limited number of passes and we can removed the pass from any student who do not respect the basic rules at the LMC or that is placed on SAC for any reason.

For teachers and staff

Teachers and staff need to know the basics of the library and the services that are available to them,  a teacher’s guide to the library was prepared for them to provide the basics of the library such as our hours, passes, library staff names, examples of how to collaborate with the ILS or librarian among others. Please remember that the ILS is your ally on teaching and collaboration can be done in so many different ways, please contact Mrs. Jimenez for more information.

Copyright is also a sensitive issue, based on that, we created this is an eBook for teachers that includes basic information about intellectual property and copyright  This basic handbook contains videos, presentations, websites, etc. and there are questions that usually teachers have asked, for example, playing movies at school, making copies of books, among others.

Finally, based on the feedback from teachers and staff, an electronic book was created about how to navigate our online resources, they expressed how unfamiliar they were with these resources. The lesson learned from this is to continue providing opportunities to students and teachers to learn about the research process and the use of our databases.

Visit our detailed website for libguides and more information that you can find at the LMC.

Only teachers and staff can request lamination, use this form if you already have the material you want to get laminated. A student aide will come to your room to pick the material up. We will use the laminator once a day. We will return your material untrimmed to your room the following 24-48 hours.

Please remove all tape, staples, paper clips, envelope clasps or sharp items protruding from the materials to be laminated as they will damage the rollers.  Items that are too thick or have a gloss finish may not seal. On rare occasions items get damaged during lamination; therefore please a copy for your records.
