What's Going on in the Library?

This is an excellent question. Currently, rooms 104 and 109 are being remodeled.  Room 104 will become the new Cataloging and Acquisition Department.  Room 109 will become the new Library Media Center. When the Multimedia Center opens, students, teachers and staff will have access to not only technology but also access to an area where students can relax while viewing segments of Films on Demand or listening to various genres of music. Students if you need  ideas or help in creating technology projects, the Multimedia Center will be the place to go.   Ms. Louise Smith is the Multimedia Librarian .  The grand opening will be announced.
