-Technical support for our centrally administrated Destiny Online Catalog, the portal to library books, e-books, and research databases
-Acquisitions, processing, and cataloging support

-Help with inventories and other projects

Instructional Support

Certified school librarians assist students to develop information literacy skills, provide them with equitable access to books and electronic resources, help raise test scores, and encourage a lifelong love of reading. School library programs work to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. As teachers, information specialists, and instructional consultants, librarians assist staff, students, and parents learn to use both traditional materials and new technologies.
