Quince Orchard Media Center
What is Our Purpose?
The purpose of Quince Orchard's Media Center is to support the instructional needs of the school's students and staff. A high school media center is a specialized library with a collection of resources that focuses specifically on the units of instruction in grades 9 through 12. Because of that focus the school media center will usually have more resources on curriculum topics than another library and students are encouraged to make a thorough search of resources in it before looking elsewhere.
