Renovated in the 1999-2000 school year, McKnight library provides students and staff access to over 26,000 items. A variety of on-line and electronic resources such as the Internet, Encarta On-line, World Book Encyclopedia On-line, and the Access PA Power Library are available through our computer search stations and adjoining computer labs.   

Students attend weekly library/computer classes taught by the librarians, Mrs. Burk and Mrs. Falkner.  Additional classes are scheduled to integrate library and information technology skills with the grade level curriculum. Students are permitted to use the library  independently to meet reading and information needs.

We also have "Shoebox Science" kits which are available to check out.  Click here - Shoebox Science - to see the list of experiments.
