Renovations for HS Media Center Underway!

One of this summer's projects in the high school is to update our library into a more modern media center. We have recently added opportunities for students to utilize online research tools as well as ebook subscriptions. We hope to have an expanded list of books for students to download and view on ereaders as soon as this fall. In addition to these offerings, we will do some remodeling.

Last week, we removed all of the lower shelving in the middle of the library moving books to all of the exterior wall shelving. Walls will be painted next week followed by carpet replacement with possible lighting upgrades.  The goal is to remodel this large area into a media center including study tables and lounge seating for students.


New carpeting and paint has been scheduled for the library this year, but due to the typical financial restraints of school districts, we will be adding furniture slowly over the next couple of years as funds exist. If you would like to donate to the high school library remodel fund, or know of possible donors, please contact Chadron Public Schools for more information 432-0700.
