The Literacy Center welcomes students and staff for research, quiet study, work on school projects and leisure reading.

We subscribe to about 80 magazines and several newspapers but provide over 20,000 titles online via our web-based resources.

These can be accessed at any of the 30 internet stations in the Literacy Center, at any station on the school network, or from outside the network with a password.
