Library
ACCI's Teacher librarians
As teacher/librarians, it is our aim to teach students the research skills they will need to succeed in an information-rich future. It is our aim to provide all students and staff with access to a wide range of print, non-print, and electronic learning resources at an appropriate level to support curriculum. It is our aim to encourage reading for pleasure and enhance self-knowledge through developing a love of reading.
