Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Roosevelt High School library media program is to promote literacy and ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The school library exists to empower students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information. Our primary purpose is to support the academic and personal development of lifelong learners and enlivened, engaged citizens. In addition, we posit the library as the vital literary arts center of the school.
Come back to the library!
Readers, come see all the new books we've got! You can check out as many as you want at once. The library will be open for students during Period 2, 3, and 4, 15 minutes before school and after, during lunch and flex periods. The number of students permitted in the library at one time will be limited to 20 with one student per square and round tables and two per rectangular. Four students can be on the desktop computers at one time. Students are asked to sanitize their work areas before and after use. Additionally, students will need to sign in and out for contact tracing. But the good news is, students can check out as many books as they want, and they can return any day to the book drop outside the library.
See you soon!
