WELCOME TO THE CARRIE RICKER SCHOOL LIBRARY
Mission:
Your school library media center’s principal role is to support the school’s curriculum and activities, enabling the students and staff to achieve the school’s educational mission. To realize this goal, the library will select, house, and maintain a collection of various types of print and non-print material.
Library Catalog RSU4 libraries use an Online Patron Access Catalog (OPAC). Simply put, this is a means to locate library materials (RSU-wide) quickly and easily.
LIBRARY DISPLAYS
