The Media Center is available throughout the day for classes and for students to work independently or as a group. It's both a casual environment to spend time and a quiet environment for studying and reading. Students may come to hang out in the reading area, spread out when needing table space, or sit at a computer to use for schoolwork.
Sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association, the Teens' Top Ten is a "teen choice" list of books nominated and voted on solely by teens.
Voting is open through Teen Read Week, October 8-14, 2017. The Top Ten titles will be announced the week of October 18th!
