The mission of the John Simatovich School Library Media Center is to encourage the joy of reading, provide access to resources in diverse formats to meet the needs of students and staff, and ensure they are effective users of information and ideas.

Our Media Center Aide is Mrs. Kegebein. She is available everyday to support students and families. Please contact her through e-mail or by calling the media center at ext. 3017.

Our school library program serves to instill a LOVE of READING and foster independent library use. Students visit twice a week with their class to check out materials and to experience reading come to life. Our library is an inviting space where students are excited to choose reading material of their choice at their reading level.
