Our mission is to ensure that all media center patrons become effective and efficient users of information and life-long learners.

Our goal is to provide a warm, caring, supportive environment for all faculty, staff, students, family members, and community members.  The Alford Media Program strives to support the school’s curriculum and instructional goals. The focus of the media team will be on building collaborative relationships with the students and staff, emphasizing the use of instructional technology, and providing quality resources that encourage reading across all content areas.

Our media center is open from 9:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M. daily.

Throughout the day, students may visit the media center independently with their teacher's permission.
