OUR LIBRARY

Welcome to our school library

Welcome to the library and to our program of information literacy. We believe that every student should have the skills

necessary to navigate in today's information-rich society. Determining information needs, recognizing and selecting appropriate

resources - whether print or online and managing the information are fundamental skills needed for successful academic research.
