Bear Creek High School values learning, growth, and achievement for
all. The digital teacher-librarian supports this work through
collaboration with teachers, PLC support, and focusing on student
learning for all students.
The BCHS Library provides a comfortable, safe space for all students and staff to study, work, relax and refresh. The library is open from 6:45am - 3:00pm, Monday through Friday.

Are Libraries Still Relevant?
What does a Digital Teacher-Librarian do?
"Today's school librarian works with both students and teachers to facilitate access to information in a wide variety of formats, instruct students and teachers how to acquire, evaluate and use information and the technology needed in this process, and introduces children and young adults to literature and other resources to broaden their horizons. As a collaborator, change agent, and leader, the school librarian develops, promotes and implements a program that will help prepare students to be effective users of ideas and information, a lifelong skill."
