Encyclopedias are also available in French and Spanish. This collection of picture books and children's classics includes about 100 items. It supports the Child Care and Development curriculum, as well Children's Literature. It also includes texts and guides to children's literature. The collection is continually reviewed and updated in a process called collection development, and which is supported by the Board of Education and the high school administration.
Collection development is actually a two-part process that includes weeding and acquisitions.
This is a vital process that ensures that our students have access to materials that are most appropriate for them according to our curriculum. Weeding provides space for newer materials, as well as making sure that mis-information is not available. The acquisitions process takes many forms. Librarians constantly read reviews and base most material purchases on these. Students and staff are always invited to suggest titles for purchase.
