When you need to use a computer, make a copy, or check out a book, stop by the library.  There are over 20 computers available before and after school and approximately 19,000 books available for your use! Many popular series titles are available and suggestions for new books are always welcomed. 

Students may check out 3 books at a time for 3 weeks as long as they have no overdue books or lost books.  Students are reminded of overdue materials via email or by paper notice through their English teacher. If a book is lost or damaged, the student is responsible for the cost of the book.

Audio books and internet hotspots are available for students to borrow.  Students must have a current AUP on file in Skyward in order to check out technology items.  

We also have a makerspace area which includes coloring pages, puzzles, games, sticker mosaics, Keva planks, and Legos just to name a few.  Makerspace backpacks are also available for check out. 

School supplies are available for students to purchase including posters, folders, spirals, binders, and paper.

Students can print from any computer in the library to the library printer.  There is no charge for printing school work, however students should manage the number of pages they print. Personal printing costs $0.10 per page...this includes lyrics, guitar chords, invitations, fliers, etc. that are not for a class assignment.  

The acceptable use policy in the student handbook gives rules and regulations for students using the school computers.  If a student is found using a proxy server to access inappropriate sites, they may lose computer access privileges for up to the entire school year.  

The library has a Canvas page that should be on your Canvas dashboard.  If you don't see it, contact Mrs. Rose.  Library information as well as virtual makerspace and author events are available there. 

A library Facebook Page (B.F. Terry Library) has been set up.  You will find book trailers (like movie trailers but these are for books) and library information here. 

Library pages have been set up (on the left tool bar) that include all of our resources.  If something you need is not here, send an email ([email protected]) or stop by the library for assistance. 

The library is a very popular area of the school and all students are invited to use the computers, look at magazines, check out books, put together puzzles, play games or just hang out with friends and do homework. 

If you need to do research, click on Student Resources on the left to go to the databases.  If you need to find a book in the library click on Library Catalogs

"If words remain words and sit quietly on the page, if they remain nouns and verbs and adjectives, then we are truly blind. But if words seem to disappear and our innermost self begins to laugh and cry, to sing and dance and finally to fly...if we are transformed in all that we are, to a brand new world, then and only then can we read."-Joe Wayman
