McKinley's library/media center is a reflection
of our students. The library is a place where all the students can
be challenged and supported in their search for knowledge and success.
The library has books that middle school students need to use for
reports and projects as well as books that students like to read
for fun. There are over 40 computers in McKinley's library.
McKinley students are encouraged to do research,
prepare reports and projects on these computers. With the tools
of the future, McKinley's library/media center brings the knowledge
of the past and the present to the students at McKinley Middle School.

The library at McKinley is open for book checkout from 8:00 to 3:10
every day that school is open. All students at McKinley are allowed
to check out books with their student number. Students are allowed
to check out up to four books at a time. Each book may be checked
out for a two-week period, at which point the book can then be renewed
for another two weeks.
All books are due back in the
library by the due date stamped in the book. If a book is lost or
damaged beyond repair, the student is required to pay for the book's
replacement. Eighth graders will not receive a final report card
if they owe any books to the library.
