We aim to guide students and staff to be effective users of ideas and information. Our program helps promote a love of reading in all of our students. Within our walls, students travel to wonderful worlds, explore historical events, and experience life through the eyes of others.

Our Library Media Center offers a wide range of resources, like:

  • Classroom read-alongs
  • Library skills training
  • Liaison services for local libraries
  • Sora - free digital access to thousands of eBooks and audiobooks

Southview Student Ben Oelzen Donates Books

Ben Oelzen shows off the label inside one of the books he has donated.
Southview High School student Ben Oelzen, has donated several books to the school library! Ben earns money by doing chores around the home. He decided which title he would like to purchase with his own money. With help from his mom, Ben orders online. It's a very exciting day when Ben proudly presents the latest book to Ms. Kay Glass, Southview library clerk. Ms. Kay catalogs the title, puts a label on it, and places the books on the shelf for student check out.

Not only does Ben supply good books to our school - he regularly shares his read-aloud talents with his classmates and teachers. Southview is proud of Ben and his love for literacy. Thank you, Ben!
