Library
The library program promotes both a life-long love of reading and a curriculum of skills for the 21st century learner. In a world awash in information, we strive to teach our patrons the ability to find and use information and ideas effectively. To serve the school community, the CAC Library has a collection of over 60,000 books and A/V items, along with a wealth of online resources. |
