Season of Change

It's time, and I'm ready! Are you?


The school library is not what it used to be. Times are changing and it is important for our space to keep up with the change. In order to do that, we are looking at our space in a different way and trying to create areas for ALL students to enjoy. It's more than just a place that houses a collection of books. Our space should be a place that anyone can come into and find something that interests them and where learning can take place. It is my hope that our Learning Commons can be exactly that!!! I am excited about this process of change and I hope you are too.

A new procedure will now be put into place when you arrive. Please stop and “sign in” in our visitor book. Sit and stay for a while, but please remember to “sign out” in our book when you leave. This procedure is for accountability and to help me determine what our Learning Commons is most used for by our student body.

Give it a try! Come in and see what you can find that might peak your interest!


We are shaking things up in the Learning Commons, and I for one am SO excited about this change!


Come in and visit!

Welcome Area

This area will be made into a place that you can pull up a stool and use as you need. These bookshelves will be repurposed into a work area for our students and faculty.

Still a Work In Progress!

Things are still a bit messy and unorganized in the Learning Commons, but progress is being made. Its a slow go, but every small change is a step in the right direction.


I am expecting a delivery of new furniture for the Library side of the LC in two weeks. Also, some of our Cafe items should be arriving soon as well.


I am doing my best to keep things functional. Make a point to stop in and see for yourself and let me know what you think!
