Library/Media Center

Library Information

Our library media center is an integral part of the educational process at JPII. It is our goal to assist each student
in his or her journey to achieve a well-rounded, quality education, and to encourage the desire for life-long personal, spiritual and intellectual growth. To attain these goals we strive to:

  • help students acquire techniques for gathering knowledge, information, and skills that support life-long learning
  • provide resources, materials and services that support personal, spiritual and intellectual growth
  • create a welcoming, user-friendly environment
  • encourage and support the use of technology

Library Technology:
Our library houses 20 networked computers for student use. For on-line access to periodical and reference databases, we encourage students to use the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL). The social, ethical, and moral standards which we follow in our daily school life apply equally to our use of the Internet. Thus, we strive to provide students with authoritative resources in support of the educational goals and objectives of our school.
