Cynthia Helms, Librarian
Mission Statement
The Centennial High School Library is committed to intellectual freedom and supports free access to information. The primary goals of the library program are to provide the leadership, personnel, resources, equipment, and facilities needed to help students and teachers to become effective users of ideas and information. These goals are accomplished by providing a physically accessible collection representing multiple viewpoints in various formats and by maintaining open access to library resources throughout the school day. The library is never permanently scheduled with classes or study halls, but rather, maintains a flexible schedule whereby, library facilities are used as instructional needs dictate and students have access to the library during all hours of operation. To ensure that appropriate supplemental resources are available to support students' research and classroom instruction, the librarian provides bibliographic instruction, reference, interlibrary loan of materials, maintains up-to-date resources, and collaborates with teachers and other educators.
