What can I DO in the library?
Check out or return a book--bring your ID!
Use the computers to PRINT (even in color if for school!) or to catch up on work if you left your chromebook at home.
Have a safe place to be--if you have a hole in your schedule for any reason, the library is a great place to stay out of trouble.
Tutorials--come in after school if you are having trouble with your work, and I can give you assistance.
Study groups--form a study group and meet in the library.
Hang out at lunch--if you don't eat or eat early, come in and have a sit. Get caught up on work or visit with friends QUIETLY.
Volunteer--there is always something to do in the library. Come see me and I will give you a job that suits you and you can earn volunteer hours.

Library Databases
Students can access databases through their Clever accounts. They will select the Texquest icon, select Waco ISD, and enter the password Welcome1.
If you need assistance with research, you may come in during open hours--before school, lunch, or after school--or make an appointment by emailing Mrs. Cunningham at kelly.cunningham@wacoisd.org.

Library Vision and Mission Statement
Our vision for Waco ISD libraries is to develop students as critical seekers of information and ideas and to use instructional and educational technology effectively so they may become independent life-long learners and decision makers.
Our mission is for the library to be a hub of educational activity where we can foster a learner-centered, technology-rich information commons where inquiry, knowledge, enjoyment, creativity all live together. We aim to provide flexible, open, unrestricted, and equitable access to the library and its resources and materials.
