Canyon del Oro High School Library
The CDO Library opened on February 28, 1972, with 10,000 items and is 11,363 square feet. Our collection contains over 35,000 items including books, videos, DVD's, CD's, audio tapes, records, filmstrips, and audiovisual equipment for teachers. We have 99 networked computers with access to the Internet available to students and two SmartBoards (interactive whiteboards) for teacher instruction. Of those 99 computers, 30 are part of our new mobile lab. The CDO Library is one of the most used resources on campus where students will find many different sources of information. We offer ** free ** services including computer printing, extended hours, access to online databases, magazines, a scanner, computer and research assistance, booklists and reading suggestions. A copy machine is available for .10 per copy.

**Mission**
The mission of the CDO High School Library is to provide a collection of materials to implement, enrich, and support the curriculum of CDO High School and to meet the individual educational/informational; college/career preparatory; cultural/emotional; and recreational needs of students, staff, and faculty.

**Philosophy**
The core of the school library media program is to shape life-long learners. As life-long learners, our students are information literate, that is, skilled at using the growing array of available information and producing information in a variety of formats. Deep understanding of learning is important to student achievement in today’s climate of learning standards. Current learning theory calls for students to use authentic learning methods to construct meaning for deeper understanding. Information literacy skills in the content areas enhance the authentic learning methods. Furthermore, a student-centered school library media program integrates AASL’s “Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning” to the Arizona State Standards. A major component of a strong school library media program is a library staff who are essential partners in student learning as teacher/collaborators, curricular/instructional partners, information specialists, and program administrators contributing to and drawing from the entire learning community.
