What's New:
Our New Library Webpage
July 21, 2011
This is a culmination of a lot of work! As the webmaster, it is my hope that you enjoy it. As with every new endeavor, I'm sure there are some mistakes. Please let me know of any that you find (pat.gann@sccboe.org)!
This webpage doesn't have the photos entered yet.
I didn't realize how remiss I had gotten in not having photos taken of the
library or computer lab in the last few years. I've been so busy with the
students, I haven't gotten pictures of all the work they've accomplished.
Hopefully, this will improve and photos of their work can be added over the next
few
years.
One of the projects I would like to add someday soon is a virtual tour of our library. Now that we are working on videos, maybe that can be a project that will be finished someday soon.

The library depends on you, the parents and community of Moody! You have been, and always will be the inspiration for our students. Therefore, when we have our two sales of the year we ask you to participate if possible.
Donating old print cartridges help us a lot. They bring in extra money for us to purchase ink cartridges for our laser printers. We have never charged students to print their papers or to use the printers for research purposes and we are hoping not to have to start that practice. Most schools have had to resort to that in this tough economy as printer cartridges increase in price. Our cartridge costs are $250.00 ea. for one printer and up to $400.00 for the other printer in the library. One library sale last year barely made enough to pay for the cartridges for half the year. As you can see, this is a big expense for the library and this does not even include the printer cost for the computer lab which is supported by the library as well.
Thanks for any help you can give with your time again this year. The students and faculty of MJHS appreciate all you do!
Alabama Virtual Library:
August 21, 2011
In today’s world, the Internet is used as an information highway that helps students, teachers, and administration to get up-to-the-minute news, information sources outside the boundaries of the school walls, and a method of communicating with other students and schools world wide.
The AVL allows access to various encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases and other reference materials as well as the actual books that are located in the library. Together, the books, the Internet, and the Virtual Library allow students to expand their horizons and opportunities to learn about the world in which they live.
