YOUR 24/7 LIBRARY
"What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it thinks about education."
Harold Howe, Former U.S. Commissioner of Education “If you have something in only one form, it’s extremely vulnerable. “If you want it to be more permanent, you need to keep it in another format besides that. Something you want to keep and treasure –you will have it in the form of a paper book.” Margaret Atwood - Buffalo News 2/21/2010 LOOK AT THE ONLINE CATALOG TO SEE WHAT'S IN YOUR LIBRARY OPAC ONLINE PUBLIC ACCESS CATALOG
