The library media Center serves as an informational resource for students at the James Wilson Young Middle school.
Materials circulate for a period of two weeks.
Following the Regents Action Plan for school libraries, all teachers bring their students to the library for instruction in research skills, to do research for class projects and for book talks and book selection for personal reading. Students may also come to the library before and after school as well as during their lunch period. The library is fully automated with five student terminals accessing the Computer Catalog, as well as a magazine database, a career encyclopedia and a biographical encyclopedia. The library is staffed by a full time certified librarian and a full-time secretary.
