Welcome to Somersworth High School Library Media Center's web site.  The site is intended to supply direct access to the library media center, provide on-line links that support the school's curriculum, offer reviews of books and other media, and give an overview of the library's resources.
The library media center provides print and non-print materials in support of learning and of
interest to high school age students.  There are subscriptions to paper magazines and daily
newspapers, as well as access to CD Rom, microform and on-line periodicals.
Backfiles and indexing for at least 5 years are maintained for retrospective periodical searching,
and frequently for much longer.
The library is part of the New Hampshire Automated Information System and materials
are borrowed and shared throughout the state in order to provide for patron needs.  If an
item is not available in the local library, daily searching of the state data base allows for
sharing of materials needed from another location, and a state van system is used for moving
materials around the state.  Internet access is available as well.
Teaching in the library media center is aimed at developing student skills in accessing
information, evaluating materials found,  and successful integrating and
citing of resources into student production.
And of course, reading for pleasure and personal growth is promoted and encouraged.
