Welcome to the Leroy High School Library!

The Leroy High School Library offers a wide range of materials that both support and enhance the curriculum. We have approximately 6,000 books, subscribe to 3 newspapers, and 26 magazines. The library website is a virtual "library without walls" and provides students and staff with a safe portal to the Internet and its resources.  Students and staff have access to 26 computers, high-speed Internet access, and the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL).

Our Mission

The library media center is central to the learning processes occurring in schools. Its program is designed to produce students who are information literate. Information-literate students are effective users of information in a variety of formats. The school library media center is the vehicle that provides opportunities for students to attain information literacy and to foster a lifelong interest in acquiring knowledge. A student-centered program is dependent upon a school librarian assuming a pivotal role in working collaboratively with teachers, administrators, and others to direct the program.

Our Library Media Center Philosophy

     The Leroy High School library media program will prepare students for their roles in the technology-driven global community of the 21st century by teaching students to find and use information efficiently and effectively. 

     School library media centers embody the school's philosophy of implementing, developing, learning, enhancing, promoting, critical thinking skills, lifetime learning, and the basics of information literacy, writing, and computation in all formats, including print, multimedia, and technological resources.  An effective library information skills program is an integral part of the total educational program, teaching students the basic processing skills necessary to connect them with information and ideas in all subject and interest areas. Development of these skills involves the collaborative efforts of certified librarians/ library media specialists, administrators, classroom teachers, technology coordinators, computer teachers, and students as active partners in the educational process, thus reinforcing the value of literacy and life-long learning.

THE MONTHLY BOOK ZONE The Book Zone's goal is to guide students in selecting new reading books. Each month, the library will select an Author of the Month and a book for the Book of the Month section. Students and faculty will be podcasting about their favorite fiction and non-fiction books. See Mrs. Brackin if you want to nominate a book or create a book podcast.
