The Chicod School Media Center promotes information and digital literacy to all of our learners. We seek to provide a space where our students feel inclusive, safe, and empowered. The media center at Chicod School will serve as a space for our learners to read, create, and innovate.
Hours of Operation: The media center is open daily during school hours. Classes are scheduled to visit, and students may also visit individually with teacher permission. Students are issued a library card to help with the checkout process.

Damaged Books: Each school year, students receive instruction on proper book care practices.

Please note that any damage fees must be paid before a student is permitted to check out additional books.
