Lillian A. Clarke Library
The Lillian A. Clarke Library at our school provides students and faculty resources and services for learning and entertainment. Each student comes to the library weekly to check out books for personal use. Students select and check out books and have a story time or a lesson. The library is open to all students and faculty for enrichment.
Phase two of our library renovation project started this year with the completion of a multimedia center that offers teachers a variety of curriculum enhancing options like videos, DVDs and power point presentations. We are continuing to add new furnishings as our budget allows and are working towards a total library renovation. In addition, we are continuing to add new books and multimedia materials to assist students and teachers with a variety of learning options.
