The Thornridge High School program of library services is designed to assist learners to grow in their ability to find, generate, evaluate, and apply information that helps them to function effectively as individuals and to participate fully in society.  Through the use of media, a student acquires and strengthens skills in reading, observing, listening and communicating ideas.  The learner interacts with others, masters knowledge as well as skills, develops a spirit of inquiry, and achieves greater self-motivation, discipline, and capacity for self-evaluation.

    By satisfying both individual and instructional purposes in a balanced and rewarding way, the library program strives to develop positive attitudes towards media, libraries and the learning process.

The library accepts reservations for room and computer terminal usage with four days advance notice.

     Please review the Library Usage Link before scheduling an appointment. Students are required to complete a Thornridge Media Services Use Contract to receive a District 205 AUP sticker and access library services.

 

  Ask?Away is a free service for Illinois residents that lets you chat in real time with a librarian 24/7.  It's quick, esy and a reliable source of information--any time, day or night.
