Library and Learning Resource System

Our Library and Learning Resources help students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to secure employment and advance in their careers. Two libraries provide texts and other materials for reference and for loan. At computer workstations, students access electronic resources, research and journal databases, and the Internet. Library staff is available for assistance. Students can also access many of these online resources remotely and beyond school hours.
