Media Center

The Buchholz Media Center is a resource for exploring and learning through many types of media. The media staff welcomes students to the Media Center Monday - Thursday, 8:00 - 3:00, and Fridays 8:00 - 2:45. Books are checked out for three weeks, and reference books are loaned overnight. There are no fines for overdue materials. We welcome parents to visit and check out books. We would love to have some parents as volunteers.
