Library Media Center

Welcome to the Plaza Middle School Library Media Center!
The Plaza Library Media Center provides resources to help you discover new books (print and digital), find research resources, and tools to help you find your next great read. The Plaza Media Center is an engaging space where students and staff can gather to collaborate, exchange knowledge and learn together. The primary goal of the Plaza library program is to support a culture of literacy.

Plaza Library Media Center Policies

Plaza students may check out two books for a three-week period and may renew books if there are no holds. Two holds may be placed on physical books in the library at a time. Students may also check out up to three eBooks on Overdrive.
