Who We Are

The Shenendehowa middle schools share three libraries:  The Humanities Library (Gowana), the Science Library (Acadia), and, new in 2004, the E-Library (Koda).

The Humanities and Science Libraries house print collections relating to the various curricular areas as well as extensive selections in literature and recreational reading.  The E-Library is totally electronic and provides access to numerous online databases as well as the internet.

All libraries are flexibly scheduled.
