Read and SOAR to New Heights!!!

-A.C. Grayling

"Give yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read."

-Charles Spurgeon

Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!!!! 

Philosophy

Our school library strives to be a learning lab that provides information services, educational programs, and wholesome books to our community of students, parents, and faculty. Our goal is to develop the skills needed to encourage a lifelong love of reading and self reliant learners. Over the school year, we teach students library and research skills, and share wonderful books!

Autaugaville Community and Parents

Our library is here to serve you also. We are adding a parent corner to our library to address your internet needs (specifically, STI parent portal) and help you use digital resources as you nurture your child's educational growth.

Hours

Our library is open all day during school hours (8:00 am- 2:45 p.m.) during school hours and operates on a fixed and flexible schedule. There are certain times for classes (usually morning) and other times when students may come individually with a library pass. Teachers can also reserve the library for their classes.
