Welcome To The Media Center

The school media center serves as a hub for information, learning, and exploration. It provides resources that support the curriculum and enhance students' educational experiences. The media center is a place where students can discover new ideas, explore different perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. It also serves as a space for collaboration, research, and creativity, supporting students in their academic pursuits and preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world.

Jessy Porter and her Library Assistant Sterlande Altidor are the two people making magic happen in the library. Ms. Altidor handles all circulation desk duties and is typically seen floating around the library re-shelving books or helping students at the circulation desk. Ms. Porter handles all back-office duties and is responsible for teaching classes and finding content-related resources for teachers.
 
With their powers combined, it is their mission to ensure the library is an accessible resource that provides a wide variety of digital and print materials to enhance student learning and to inspire students to become lifelong learners by providing them with the space and resources necessary for authentic learning experiences.

Follett Destiny Discover

The Media Center uses Follett’s Destiny Library Manager to maintain our library collection. Patrons access the collection using Destiny Discover, a graphics-based circulation software that allows them to search for print and digital content available in their school’s media center. 

Destiny Discover can be accessed by students and staff through Classlink.
