Library Mission
The mission of the Medford School Library program is to ensure that students attain the knowledge and skills to effectively research and use information and to promote independent and critical thinking. The school library program will provide a rich variety of materials and instruction to support the curriculum and will promote enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
Library Catalog
The library collection is cataloged on a library computer database. Materials in the collection can be searched for on the Spectrum library catalog from any computer in the school by clicking on the desktop icon, Spectrum Patrons Cat.
Library Hours
The library is available during school hours. A staff person is available to assist students and teachers on Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 to 2:15. On most Thursdays, the library is open until 3:15. With a note from your teacher, students are allowed to use the library for research, reading, and homework during lunch on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays; and after school on Thursday. Please remember no food or drink are allowed in the library, so if you would like to come during your lunch time, please finish your lunch in the cafeteria before coming to the library.
Borrowing Library Materials
All members of the Andrews Middle School community may borrow library books. No library card is needed; your last name will be used to access your account. All materials must be checked out at the circulation desk by a librarian. Materials are due in two weeks, but may be renewed as needed. Students will be responsible for any unreturned items and will be required to pay for the replacement cost of that item.
