MISSION
The mission of the Hagedorn Library Learning Center is to function as the information center for exploration and knowledge, a place where students learn to love literature, and effectively process and use information in all formats. Our job is to promote curiosity, reasoning, and questioning in a comfortable learning environment by helping students make connections with classroom learning, information skills, and personal experiences.

To fulfill this mission, we teach students the necessary skills through resource-based instruction in the context of curricular learning to find, analyze, and evaluate information. Our responsibility to the school community is to work collaboratively with teachers, administrators, and parents to plan, implement, and evaluate the learning experience to ensure that all students become well informed, independent, lifelong learners.
Borrowing Information
Circulating books may be borrowed for a two-week period. Students need to bring them back to the library in order to renew books for another two weeks. Students with overdue books cannot charge out any books until all overdue items are returned. All books must be checked out through the electronic system by the library staff at the circulation desk, and may be returned at any time during the school day.

Reserve books for class research projects must be used in the library until 2:30 p.m. A student may borrow reserve books for overnight use between 2:30 – 3:00 p.m. Any reserve material borrowed overnight must be returned to the library at 8:30 a.m. the following morning.
Inter-Library Loan
Books, or articles, may be borrowed from another school, or local community library if we do not have it available in our collection. We are also electronically registered with the New York State Library System for inter-library loans. You can request an item by E-mailing the library.  Inter-library loans take about two weeks.
Birthday Books
The goal of the Birthday Book program is to give the children the experience of giving on their birthdays. Students are acknowledged for their gift during an all school assembly each month.  In addition to the birthday bookplate added with the child's name, birth date, and year of the gift, the book will also be cataloged with a note field with the same information in the library online catalog.
