Library

Library Hours:

Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Philosophy:

The Library fosters a community of learning and literacy that leads to high academic achievement, independent reading and learning, and collaboration throughout the school.

Mission:

The Library media program strives to ensure that students are effective users of ideas and information, and that library users develop a love of reading.

Library Collections:

There are two libraries at SSIS. The Elementary School Library located in Building T and the Middle/High School Library located in Building A. Both libraries cater to our students’ curricular and recreational reading needs and to a growing desire for information and connectivity to resources outside of our school. Currently, we have over 16,000 items in our print and audio visual collection, and we subscribe to ten periodicals. Our collection is continually growing to accommodate the needs of our expanding school community. In addition, we are developing our online subscriptions to include research databases.

Staff:

Two full-time certified Teacher-Librarians and two Library Assistants manage our collections.

Circulation Policy for Parents:

Parents are welcome to sign up for a family account, which allows a family to check out up to five items for two weeks. This total of five items for the family account is in addition to what students may borrow.
