The goal of the DIS library program is to ensure that students develop the ability to find and use information and to become lifelong learners and effective users of ideas and information. The library provides access to an information-rich collection of print, technologies, and research information, so that all DIS students have the opportunity to acquire:
Reading Literacy: to perform as an avid and capable reader
Technology Literacy: to be a skilled user of technology tools; to use technology to enhance learning.
Information Literacy: to be an organized investigator, a critical and creative thinker, an effective communicator, and a responsible information user.
Library Hours Each school day the library is open from 7:45 am - 1:00 pm and from 1:30 - 2:15 pm. Students are welcome in the library before school, at break, and during lunchtime, in addition to times when their teachers deem it appropriate.
Books Policy Students may have out four books at a time, and almost all of the books may be checked out for three weeks.

Our computer lab is housed in the library and is available to students for school-related use.
