That’s all great but do we even have a library?

The bigger our school gets, the larger our library will become! As for now, we are considered small but MIGHTYMS Library Location: The Book Room is organized by genre next to the Fab Lab HS Library Location: Next to the copiers, library furniture is set up for anyone to use. Peruse books, magazines, work on projects, or just get away from it all

But…how do I check a book or magazine out?

If Mrs. Nedved is not on campus, just fill out the checkout form. Don’t forget to include:

First & Last Name Student ID Number Title of book Barcode # (Example: T 24344) Date of checkout/in

What about headphones, mice, & cameras?If Mrs. Nedved is not on campus, see Cedar at the HS and Holly at the MS
