The David R. LaRock Library is Academy of Holy Angels’ library and media center. It provides both print and electronic resources for student learning and research.
Library Media Department Philosophy The Library Media Department provides students with instruction and skills development in information literacy, library science, and writing across the curriculum through interdisciplinary, hybrid lessons integrated into courses offered at every grade level through English, Social Studies, Theology, and other departments. Collectively, these lessons form a library curriculum distinct from, but complementary to, offerings in other subject areas, with its own instructional outcomes intended to prepare students for college success and a lifetime of independent learning. Supported by its varied print and electronic collections, the LaRock Library maintains itself as a hub for research, technology training, and campus literary life not only in assigned academics, but also through extracurricular activities and support for recreational reading and independent inquiry.
