LONG TRAIL SCHOOL Founded 1975

LIBRARY

The library is the school's information center with an expanded collection of current materials that supports the curriculum. It is fully automated and has an online public access catalog, a networked computer lab with Internet access, and an electronic periodical database. Wireless technology allows laptop owners easy access to the Internet. The library provides the LTS community with a diverse range of resources: books, magazines, DVDs, and online databases. Additionally, there are 4 video editing stations in the Library. Video cameras and digital cameras may be borrowed.

The library program promotes literacy and the enjoyment of reading, viewing, and listening; provides learning experiences that encourage users to become discriminating and critical users of information; and provides access and instruction in the use of information technology. Students and staff have access to and borrowing privileges at all of our local libraries and through the Vermont Automated Library System. The LTS library affords quiet space for individual and group learning and is open to the community.
