WELCOME TO YOUR LIBRARY

Mission Statement - Your Sierra Vista Library; Making Multimedia Resources Accessible to Serve the Staff and Students, Enabling them to Become Effective Users of Ideas and Information

THE LIBRARY IS TEMPORARILY LOCATED IN PORTABLES NEXT TO THE TENNIS COURTS
We hope to be in our remodeled library near the front of the school in the spring of '10. Our temporary library has most of our book collection. The Reference, Biography, Careers, and Story Collection are in storage. We have all other non-fiction and the complete fiction section in the portables. We also have 15 student computers for use.

We now have The Los Angeles Daily News online. It has the newspaper in full-text with all graphics, plus there are online educational games and activities. Click HERE. The username is Fulleman - see Mrs. Fulleman at the SV library for the class password. (hint - it is the same password used for the Gale Database)
