 Library Services and Resources

Kari Deike, Librarian

The GJHS library offers many resources and services to enhance each student's educational experience and to promote information literacy.

BOOKS:  Our media center houses approximately 25,000 monographs of varying interest and reading levels.  Organized by the Dewey Decimal system, our non-fiction section offers our patrons up-to-date information on a wide assortment of topics including sciences, languages, history, and biographies.

The fiction section, organized by an author's last name, contains classics, pop fiction, story collections, and many other types of literature. 

The reference collection, also organized by the Dewey system, is the location of atlases, almanacs, encyclopedias, and other information resources.  Because these books are intended for multiple users, they are to remain in the center.

MAGAZINES:  The GJHS library subscribes to several periodicals.  The most current issues are on a display rack for patron use in the media center.  Back issues are kept for three years for research purposes.  We also receive the LV Review Journal and the USA Today each week day

COMPUTERS: Eighteen Internet equipped computer stations are available to students in the center.  Each student must display proof of parental permission while on a machine (the student ID card is labeled), and appropriate "net"iquette is expected.  Library computers are for school based work only--games, cartoons, etc. are not allowed.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES/SERVICES:  For a nominal fee ($.10/page), students can print from the computer or copier.  Pens and pencils are also available for $.25 to $.50.
