Library

Welcome to the Dawson Middle School library. I'm Ariel Pellar your new librarian. After teaching elementary school for three years I decided to go back to school to get my master's degree in library science. This is my second year as a school librarian. In my free time I enjoy traveling and volunteering at the animal shelter.

Collection

This library strives to provide a broad collection of resources that present varying levels of difficulty, satisfies a wide range of interests, and represents varied points of view. The collections include fiction books, nonfiction books, audio books, graphic novels, eBooks, reference materials, periodicals, audio visual materials, professional books, and electronic resources. The materials are intended to support the district curricula, to encourage pleasure reading, to build knowledge, and to represent many ethnic, religious, and cultural groups. The campus libraries serve large populations of students and staff. It is recognized that every book in the library will not be relevant for every student.
