Welcome to our school library. We are here to help you! Welcome to the library and to our program of information literacy. We believe that every student should have the skills necessary to navigate in today's information-rich society. Determining information needs, recognizing and selecting appropriate resources - whether print or online and managing the information are fundamental skills needed for successful academic research. The River East Collegiate Library offers students a quiet place to conduct research, study and to word process resource-based learning assignments. The library’s goal is to provide access to a wide variety of current and appropriate information sources, and to ensure that teachers, staff and students are efficient and effective users of information.
