The school library and media centers are learning places where students can explore a variety of resources and participate in a wide selection of activities and educational experiences under the guidance of librarians and teachers. Books, magazines, videos, computers, and various audio-visual materials are carefully selected by librarians and teachers. These resources are efficiently organized and circulated to provide a program of instruction in correlation with the Catholic curriculum of Sacred Heart Catholic School.
