Our MissionToday’s media specialists are much more than professionals who check books in and out. Future Ready Media Specialists design collaborative spaces, build instructional partnerships, empower students as creators, curate digital resources and tools, facilitate professional learning, invest strategically in digital resources, cultivate community partnerships, promote digital literacy and citizenship, and lead beyond the library.

About the Learning LabAfter the 2016-2017 school year, we formed a vision to dramatically change our library to better serve our students and staff. A significant part of that vision was moving our book collection to teacher classrooms and turning the space into a 21st Century Learning Lab that provides the flexible learning space students need to engage in Project Based Learning and to develop the 21st century skills necessary to be productive, responsible citizens. The Learning Lab is equipped with nine dry-erase markerboard top activity tables with charging stations, 30 tilt-top markerboard tables, nine 50 inch TV monitors, soundproof glass conference rooms, 16 Class VR headsets, and MacBooks. |
