About the Libraries
Recognizing that Cedar Creek School is committed to providing a superior educational program, the learning media specialists strive to provide students with meaningful, relevant, and challenging materials that will support their needs based on the curriculum. The learning media specialists also have the responsibility of developing independent lifelong learners by teaching students the skills of locating, analyzing, interpreting, and using information. They strive to ensure the students' social and personal development by providing appropriate literature and periodicals.
