About the Library

Welcome to the Middle School Library's website.  We provide a multitude of information resources for our seventh and eighth grade students. Students utilize the library for class research projects, internet applications, and student interests. Our research materials include books, magazines, newspapers, and the internet.

Websites for Research Projects

Here are links to some useful internet resources. Some are subscription databases, and they require a username and password. They can be accessed in school or at home; ask Mrs. Nelson or Mr. Tucker for the login information if it asks for a username and password.

World Book Online - An online version of the classic encylcopedia that contains the full content of the encyclopedia's book version as well as additional multimedia content and links to supplement the articles. A good place to start when researching any topic.
