Library



Mission

The School Library Media Center, located at 105 Half Hollow Road, Deer Park, New York, provides the resources and services whereby students can become effective users of ideas and information and lifelong seekers of knowledge capable of information retrieval.

The Media Center fosters the lifelong enjoyment of reading providing access to quality age-appropriate literature.  The Media Center also provides curriculum support, research guidance, and other learning experiences to the students, faculty, staff, and parents of the school community.

Special Thanks to Anna Stokes for providing the content for this portion of the SSCM website!
