Recent Additions | Web Search Links |

The goal of the Marie Gallagher Resource Center is to assist all students in becoming active and creative locators, evaluators, and users of information to solve problems and to satisfy their own curiosity.  With these abilities, students can become independent, ethical and lifelong learners.  We aim for information literate students who have the ability to locate, process, evaluate and utilize information that comes to them in a variety of formats.  We seek to provide our students with equitable access to the library and its resources as well as a facility that is welcoming, with a climate conducive to individual and shared learning.

The Marie Gallagher Resource Center is open every school day at 7:30 am and remains open until 3:30pm.  Students are welcome to check out as many books as they need for a period of 2 weeks.
