Media Center

“A school library and media center is not just a room of books and screens—it is the heartbeat of curiosity, where stories spark imagination and information empowers every learner to explore the world.”

  • The Media Center comprises three main areas: the Elementary Library, the Middle/High School Library, and a Chrome Lab. The Media Center Administrator oversees daily operations, collaborates with teachers, and manages the selection and procurement of materials. In addition to administrative duties, the Administrator provides weekly instruction to students in K4 through Grade 3, covering topics in Technology, Literature, and STEM. These students also participate in regular book checkouts.

    Library Collection

    The library houses approximately 17,000 catalogued items, organized through the Follett Destiny Library Management System and accessible via OPAC. While the majority of materials are in English, the collection also includes books in Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, and a dedicated Curaçao section. Additional resources include story collections, audiobooks, and materials for parents and educators. The digital library continues to expand with a growing selection of online titles.
