WELCOME TO OUR LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER
Hello, my name is Mrs. Melissa Wallace. I serve as the South Central Library Media Specialist. It is my goal to create an atmosphere in the library that provides our students with resources, literature, skills, and a fondness for reading. This website was created to extend our library walls and connect you to our many services and happenings.
